Large scale chemical plants are designed to avoid exploding.
However, human beings can make errors that result in the safety designs and procedures failing.
There is also direct sabotage... but right now, we have no information, so any assertion is speculative.
Being empowered to accept by its very definition necessitates the ability to reject.
Without the ability to reject, there is no decision or processing applied to the delivered ballots. Such a condition would allow Texas to send 500 ballots, or Rhode Island to send 501, and the VP would be reduced to a rubber stamp for such shenanigans.
That is an asinine position to advocate.
4 Nobel prizes, 3 Justices (so far), 2 Terms, and 1 glorious hairstyle.
January is coming!
That would be an Arkansacide.
Some of us can be happy about secondary concerns while still keeping vigilant.
There are two ways to make the world better:
-
You can decrease the sucky. (I.e. Restore election integrity, clean out the swamp.)
-
You can increase the Awesome. (I.e. expand space colony tech, build a 1,001 hp motorcycle)
Both approaches result in a demonstrably better world.
Planning is easy.
Executing the plan while taking enemy fire, that is where the big money is.
If you have to adjudicate a random 70%, then the scanner is actually slowing down the process vs a straight hand count.
Why spend millions of dollars if it neither improves the speed or accuracy of your process?
It took me a second to realize why my internal reading voice sang these lines. Then I remembered the gay vampire from the DNC.
Yeah, people are confusing how it usually goes with how the process is legally allowed to resolve.
Think about how many lawyers seem to have never bothered to read the Constitution, let alone understand it.
Do you think the general public is more or less likely to put in the effort to study and understand the Constitution?
Nope...
Dominion BS got the Dems their best showing in a while, but the Springs is still overwhelmingly conservative.
Hell, Trump nearly won Pueblo.
If we continue to use Dominion style tabulators then all sorts of calculations are programmable.
I recall reading something about a great deal of trouble occurring when a couple of people put faith in the words of another snake.
I can drop a deuce into an envelope and stamp it certified... it'd still be a turd in an envelope.
The determination of accepted slates is solely at the discretion of the Vice President. It doesn't matter how many newscasters or governors or legislators wrote that they agree on the envelope.
If Pence decides to accept the GOP slates then Trump wins.
Your contention is that the Governors signed conflicting slates of electors?
They decided to just inject chaos into the process, and it was the decided by the one's they signed?
Is there a link?
And fear.

Recount =/= Audit
The procedure of a recount is just to replicate the previous count. There is no checking for improper or illegal ballots.
An audit is what we want.
As Trump says, "A complicated business." Reckless adventurism spills youthful blood for ill defined reasons. We agree on this.
Trump's policy of making the USA energy independent is the only reason it is feasible to reduce our presence in the ME. If we abdicate the role of world police, the aggressive actors on the world stage are not going to stand by like teamsters on a union required break.
You want to let China and Russia run amuck over the world? Because that is what happens if you leave a vacuum. Ultimately, we should build our allies up to the point that they can stand strong on their own... but that is not the current state of things.
Freaking autocorrect.
I think the fear of opening the floodgates of States suing each other over legal differences is a reasonable explanation for AOC and Kavanaugh and Gorsuch ruling the way that they did.
I feel that they have better information on what they are thinking than I ever will, so I it makes sense to trust them. I also have faith that they are looking at the other briefs and cases that are incoming and are choosing a better spot.
4 days ago they also rejected the same case but this time brought by PA senator Mike Kelly against PA.
Incorrect. SCOTUS denied the emergency injunction relief request. Which is easily understood by the fact that courts always try to do the least amount of intervention possible.
Sen Kelly's case is still proceeding.
So, I don't really understand how they didn't have standing.
Neither do I, and neither do Justice Alito and Justice Thomas. Frankly, that's company I'm willing to keep.
Faith cannot exist in the light of ease. It can only be grown in adversity and struggle.
Molon labe.
