My take on the decertification step is that it isn’t necessarily meant to REMOVE an illegitimate sitting president but to de-legitimize the sitting president. I think the hope (albeit far fetched hope) is that de-legitimization will force some moderates in their own party to do what the Republicans did with Nixon. In other words, give the moderates “cover” to go after Biteme and kneepads Harris and hopefully ask for their resignation.
Another thought is this is the groundwork in case the republicans get a majority of in one or both Houses in 2022 to start an impeachment and removal exercise. Not holding my breath that the pubbies will do anything of the sort but one can dream...lol. I will say if the decertification does happen in multiple states and the public pressure is high enough, the pubbies just MIGHT find their backbone.
With all that said, I think prosecution of the criminals (alleged) is the key here. I think of these things in the “risk/reward” kind of way. There has been very little “risk” but a ton of reward for these nefarious actors. Same with the hackers and ransomware people. My company just got hacked with a ransomware attack and people were asking me why this keeps happening but nothing is done about it. I have to break it to them gently that there is NO POLITICAL will to do anything about it. You cannot tell me the NSA does not know who/what/where/when of these attacks. Risk/reward is on the hackers side BIG TIME. Until there is a public execution of a convicted hacker group, they have NO FEAR. Same with these election “hackers”.
I once thought former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo was an untouchable. That is now untrue. hopefully it is a sign...............
