Someone explain contested electors to me.
posted ago by BackwoodsRedneck +12 / -0

So I'm dumb but not dumb dumb.

I understand that a contested state sends both electors. I also understand that 1 senator and 1 representative must also object to the states certification. After those objections, do they go to pence directly? Do they go to the house for a state vote?

Updoots all over to answers.

Pence gets to decide which set gets counted.

Is it really that simple? If so, it seems Trump would easily win now with the contested electors sent.

You would think. I am not banking on it though. Its at least a possibility. GOP are fucking scared. They dont know what to do.
