haha

The Problem is the Actual Harm vs Remedy. You first need to prove the Harm and the Remedy has to be equallitable.

2020-11-24 21:40:10 UTC  

With MI already certified, SCOTUS would have to reversed the certification in MI or PA. And Trump would have to succeed in preventing GA, WI, AZ, and NV from finalizing their certifications.

2020-11-24 21:40:34 UTC  

if he proves it well enough he can probably convince the legislatures

2020-11-24 21:41:00 UTC  

Political Suicide.

2020-11-24 21:41:12 UTC  

What is?

2020-11-24 21:42:00 UTC  

The Legislative overturning.

2020-11-24 21:42:38 UTC  

I don't think it would be, if there was good proof of something nefarious

2020-11-24 21:42:49 UTC  

I don't think all states have a provision for the legislature being able to override the Electors.

2020-11-24 21:43:08 UTC  

I think Barnes said this is something they cannot give away

2020-11-24 21:43:11 UTC  

@realz I agree. It is a Tall Order Though.

2020-11-24 21:43:12 UTC  

(that power)

2020-11-24 21:43:33 UTC  

but I may be misremembering

2020-11-24 21:43:45 UTC  

@William Dinan that is the kind of proof I want to see, otherwise I'm not interested

2020-11-24 21:44:06 UTC  

@TaLoN132. The last safeguard is Congress.

2020-11-24 21:45:06 UTC  

Understood... But that requires that no candidate gets 270 EC votes.

2020-11-24 21:45:19 UTC  

December 14th.

2020-11-24 21:45:40 UTC  

@TaLoN132. That's a different Story.

2020-11-24 21:46:17 UTC  

What story are you telling?

2020-11-24 21:47:05 UTC  

If Trump has posted he's going to work with the transitioning team... Isn't it all over?

2020-11-24 21:47:29 UTC  

@TaLoN132. Technically the Congress has to accept/ approve the EC Votes. There can be objections.

2020-11-24 21:47:52 UTC  

What am I missing here?

2020-11-24 21:48:00 UTC  

Again, another Tall Order.

2020-11-24 21:48:05 UTC  

That tells me it's over.

2020-11-24 21:48:48 UTC  

@Pantsdonkey. I don't believe in Political Absolutes.

2020-11-24 21:50:07 UTC  

Would that require a straight majority or is it one vote per state (like the contingency of having the house decide when no candidate gets 270)?

2020-11-24 21:51:26 UTC  

per delegation I think

2020-11-24 21:51:29 UTC  

The objection would have to come from one member of Both Houses. Then elected upon.

2020-11-24 21:51:29 UTC  

@William Dinan, you just advanced to level 3!

2020-11-24 21:52:31 UTC  

@realz. Objections and Votes are very different.

2020-11-24 21:52:56 UTC  

ah yea probably anyone can object

2020-11-24 21:53:03 UTC  

but they vote to uphold the objection or not

2020-11-24 21:53:13 UTC  

Yes

2020-11-24 21:53:51 UTC  

That would be the entire House on Objections.

2020-11-24 21:55:14 UTC  

That would be in the New Congress.

2020-11-24 21:55:41 UTC  

House of objections seems like a good title

2020-11-24 21:57:16 UTC  

Unless there is some real Kracken. This looks like a Done Deal.

2020-11-24 22:02:51 UTC  

Its been an interesting term. Starting with cofefe and ending on kraken.

2020-11-24 22:03:15 UTC  

But 🍊🧍‍♂️🤬 amirite!

2020-11-24 22:03:30 UTC  

maybe the real term was the friends we made along the way?
