This is the play.

Pence picks alternate slates of electors for states that have sent them in.

DEMs are put into the position of objecting or letting Trump win outright.

DEMS must vote against accepting Pence's count or let Trump win outright.

Electors are rejected in an amount that makes reaching 270 impossible.

Contingent election must occur.

Revote by roll call of states, 1 vote per state.

Contingent election happens in the House, Pelosi will have gamed out some fuckery.

It’s cleaner to reject both sets and send it to a state by state vote on the theory that he’s not in a position to pick who’s right and wrong and just can’t tell who’s legit.... He could blame SCOTUS and say that without their decision he has not choice but to reject both.

Nah fuck this cucked bs and fuck you. After all the shit that has happened over the course of 2020, you still want to play “fair” with these leftist fuckers? Shame on you.

Throw their votes out and accept Trump votes only. Let them figure out for once how to deal with this instead of cuckservative feeding them their slice of pie by bending over backwards.

Trump's second term still needs legitimacy.

The much touted 'alternate slates' are backed by small minorities of the legislature from their respective states.

You can't hang your presidency on 20 guys out of 200 voting for you.

Pence needs to reject these states completely. If he can't do that, the cleaner option is to invoke Insurrection Act and go to war.

Picking minority backed electors, he will have no legitimacy at all. I doubt military will back him up than.

did you guys actually count the signatures for those alternate slates of electors? You should - only a small minority of legislature from each state, signed on to back those.

Pence needs to reject disputed states wholesale and trigger a contingency vote.

Personally, I don’t want him to select an alternative slate and just reject those states outright. Reason is that then in future elections every state Dem committee will vote send their electors and I don’t want them to have the option to count them.

Yes, I think this is the way. But I believe a supermajority is needed to reject electors? So VP is election god and no one noticed before?
