As I posted yesterday:


Never believe a Democrat promise to do something in the future in exchange for you doing something now.

No Electoral College votes from PA is worse because Biden will still have a majority of Electoral College votes that were cast. President Trump needs those votes.

Let me correct that statement a little bit to reflect reality:

Never believe a Democrat the promises of politicians of either party to do something in the future in exchange for you doing something now.

At a minimum, PA, GA, and one other state “won” by Biden would have to not certify. PA by itself is not enough.

OK by me. Push Harrisburg into the Susquehanna River for all I care.

“Maybe we are better off throwing PA out of the Union.”

Easy now. All that is needed is to annex Philthy to NJ.

Contrary to what was reported out there, GA has NOT YET certified the results.

“Nancy Pelosi fully supports this maddeningly slow walk of vote verification. At a certain point, she will become our president, if all remains unresolved.”

Your understanding of our Constitution and the Electoral process are woefully inadequate.

Please see Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist 68: https://constitutingamerica.org/july-30-2010-%E2%80%93-federalist-no-68-%E2%80%93-the-mode-of-electing-the-president-from-the-new-york-packet-hamilton-%E2%80%93-guest-blogger-joerg-knipprath-professor-of-law-at-southwestern-l/

Maybe the citizens in PA will get their house in order.

Didn’t someone say MI wasn’t certified?

The Constitution says if neither candidate has a majority of total EVs (removing a state does not reduce the majority)

Yes, it does.

Both the Constitution and US Code Title 3 Chapter 1 use the word "appointed," not "apportioned," when referring to votes.

12th Amendment

The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed...

3 U.S. Code § 1 - Time of appointing electors

The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.

3 U.S. Code § 2.Failure to make choice on prescribed day

Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.

3 U.S. Code § 3.Number of electors

The number of electors shall be equal to the number of Senators and Representatives to which the several States are by law entitled at the time when the President and Vice President to be chosen come into office; except, that where no apportionment of Representatives has been made after any enumeration, at the time of choosing electors, the number of electors shall be according to the then existing apportionment of Senators and Representatives.

3 U.S. Code § 4.Vacancies in electoral college

Each State may, by law, provide for the filling of any vacancies which may occur in its college of electors when such college meets to give its electoral vote.

3 U.S. Code § 5.Determination of controversy as to appointment of electors

If any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination of any controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such State, by judicial or other methods or procedures, and such determination shall have been made at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, such determination made pursuant to such law so existing on said day, and made at least six days prior to said time of meeting of the electors, shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution, and as hereinafter regulated, so far as the ascertainment of the electors appointed by such State is concerned.

You'll note that §3 is the apportionment part of the law that sets the number of Electors each state is entitled to.

The state must still appoint people to the Electoral College.

The 12th amendment is clear that it is a majority of appointed Electors that matters, not apportioned Electors, in other words, a majority of votes cast by Electors.

I do believe it is also just a sample audit and it can be done by a third party. A total JOKE!

Thank you for the info. I suppose I’m guilty of simply parroting what I’ve been hearing on the news.

Montgomery County has three commissioners. Two are from one party, the third must be from he other party. The one refusing is the lone Republican commissioner.

My expectation is that it will not go to the House.

I suspect that the state legislatures in contested states will step in and directly appoint the Electors.

They have until December 8 to do this. I think that all it will take is for one state to take the lead and be the first to do it, and then the others will follow suit.

Then it will go to the whole Congress, not just the House, to contest the Electors themselves.

See this post of mine for details.

Just have every red county secede. Then the City of Brotherly Fraud will be forced to join NJ.
