My FRiend, on this my track record is perfect.
Four weeks ago I told all of you that the ONLY hope for Trump was to convince the state legislatures of MI, WI, AZ, PA, and GA to refuse to certify, that once they certified it was over.
Pence has no power. It’s amazing that this myth still has legs. If he did, there would be no need for a joint session of Congress-—the ballots would just be opened in front of the VP and that would be that.
I told everyone four weeks ago that the courts would NOT help. I said the USSC would absolutely NOT get involved. I said if you allowed the state legislatures to accept the governors’ certifications, you could not get it undone.
This was all confirmed with a congressperson last night, someone you would all greatly respect. This person said that after an objection is entertained, the House would return a rejection in 5 minutes, that the Senate “might” debate it, but that Trump would not come close to 51 votes. Thinking is closer to 10 to overturn a slate-—any slate.
I think said-—and this was borne out just yesterday, that Yertle and Botoxic would then try to limit all further objections from the floor. I don’t think that’s constitutional, but it really doesn’t matter does it?
The only place I’ve been wrong is that Yertle and Botoxic didn’t wait until the actual objections came: they are pre-emptively trying to get a deal to prohibit all objections. Again, doesn’t matter what the law and Constitution say if they have the numbers to force a vote through. On this, they may not in the senate-—but it will be close.
Check back in a week.
Larry,
Texas just waits till the end and turns in 400 electoral votes. It’s fine, we counted 400, they are real votes, we promise, don’t disenfranchise Texans, man!
Pence accepts them — “certifies” them — “counts” them — and no one has “standing” to oppose it.
Thomas Jefferson did his version of this when Georgia screwed up their votes, did he not, you would know.
What’s good for Wisc, Mich, Penn, Geog, Ariz, and their ilk is good for the gander.
