Our Founding Fathers were very worldly and knowledgeable for their times. They knew that the courts couldn't always be depended on to act quickly enough to solve such a situation as what just happened this past November. That is the precise reason why a mechanism of allowing any state's legislature to convene a vote to send a second group of electors to congress was written into our Constitution.
What is now happening is the constitutional equivalent of Halley's Comet. We can barely imagine that a small group of men who didn't have computers or cell phones, had no televisions or automatic heating in their homes could have imagined that there might be a day, maybe even hundred of years in the future when the United States would absolutely need a constitutional emergency brake. This faulty election fail-safe switch has endured although almost forgotten by time and dusty from non-use. But today, the constitutional emergency brake was just pulled HARD. And believe it, IT STILL WORKS!
This is why we should pause at some point after the storm is over. We will then share a moment of silence to remember our Founding Fathers and how amazing is their gift of our Constitution.
Pence will and can not decide whether or not Trump wins. It's not what's happening, the alternate electors are not official and will get tossed according to the constitution. This has been explained so many times yet people are still spamming threads about this nothingburger.
Wow. A bright and shiny new TDWin Account. Is this your first post? How many times did you vote for Joe Biden? Are you a member of the CCP or do you have family members that will be harmed if you don't meet your comment quota?
Considering every person not constantly participating in the circlejerk gets banned it's not very surprising, is it? Look it up or just wait till the 6th to see that I'm right.
I have no idea what a civnat is or if it's some type of slang. If you are trying to insult someone in the United States, please have the common decency to use words from the Webster's dictionary.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter which set democrats or some people at congress consider "official" - they're both legal sets of electors, the only difference is one set is signed off by the governor. My understanding is that as long as the legislature-sent set of electors makes it to Pence's desk, he has the discretion of which set to pick.
But do you honestly believe this? Like really? Because if this is true; why would the democrats even lose the election 2016? Why would any of them lose in any election? All they had to do to win was to send in alternate elector votes (doesn't matter if official or not) then the sitting vice president would freely decide which ones to count and not. This IS a nothingburger.
Because in those elections I guess there wasn't a high amount of electoral fraud and therefore for a VP to do something like that would be political suicide?

Well said!

Since you know you're right, why are you so intent on spending your time here with us dumb rubes?
You should be kicking back and preparing for the sweet touch of Joe Biden in your life. You know you want it.
I don't want it. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a shill, but that's probably too much for a civnat to understand.

Civic nationalist. Ignore her. I don’t see what the dooming accomplishes between now and January 6th.
