I think Trump is looking for Electors who are committed to show up in Washington, sealed certificates in hand for Mike Pence to open, as required by Article 2 of the Constitution.
Ballot shenanigans will have Dems pressuring them to NOT show up because they’ll say “all votes haven’t been counted” and cry disenfranchisement.
But the Constitution says they ‘shall.’ Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. Tradition and precedent don’t matter - this one is too important.
Further:
From Article 2: “A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice.”
And “no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”
Does anyone know where we can find the names of all of the electors? We need to put pressure on them!
This part is interesting too:
“The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.”
Questions: When and how are Electors chosen? And what is the designated Day that the Electors must deliver their votes?
