I work for an insurance company and every all employee meeting we hear about the desire to fight systematic oppression, what we are doing to combat that, and how we can promote diversity. The CEO even worried about how we don't have a good diversity of thought and how we need to make people more comfortable being themselves. But throughout the whole meeting it's heavily implied that conservative voices aren't wanted. He even made a comment that implied trump is a joke. Not to mention we won't go back to the office until 2021. Just needed to vent where people will get me.
Edit: just made it a bit more vague so i don't accidently dox myself. I trust you guys, but i'd rather be careful.
First question, probably vote whatever way they've been paid to, or someone challenges the whole thing and they reschedule, idk. That could be the actual play for jamming up the system with mail in ballots.
As for the second, 22nd only applies to the president and the vice-president. It doesn't apply to the speaker. It would not be a perfect claim, and there would be a challenge I am sure, but Trump and Pence would be required to vacate either way. Deep State would be happy no matter what debacle is unleashed.
I think most states require them to vote for whatever party that state went to. But some blue states are trying to cheat by requiring them to vote for whoever wins the whole country's popular vote. (So basically reeeing that Trump lost the popular vote by 1% and still won the election.)
It used to not be like that. The electoral college used to be literally just educated and informed voters that the masses selected to vote for them, and the delegates could vote however they wanted. It was intended to combat politicians just using demagoguery to win.
At some point it became bound to the two-party system.
