It already went to Congress

2020-12-24 05:44:10 UTC  

Remember that day when the GOP of contested states sent their own Electors?

2020-12-24 05:44:16 UTC  

All that shit is sealed

2020-12-24 05:44:17 UTC  

You don't understand - The VP is going to supervise the electoral votes.

2020-12-24 05:44:24 UTC  

Yes...on the 6th

2020-12-24 05:44:25 UTC  

I've been sitting here all day worried about weather or not pence would betray us over the Pencecard thing, and it was all for nothing cause we dont even gotta worry about it til' the 6th

2020-12-24 05:44:40 UTC  

Read section 15

2020-12-24 05:44:59 UTC  

That describes what's actually applicable to the situation we find ourselves in

2020-12-24 05:45:33 UTC  

Members of Congress say that the Electors were sent with fradulent certification

2020-12-24 05:45:48 UTC  

THEN. Pence, as President of the Senate comes into play

2020-12-24 05:47:16 UTC  

Yeah I see that now.

2020-12-24 05:48:08 UTC  

That's what everyone is getting wrapped around the axle about. It's about arguing that the certifications are bullshit, not that they don't exist

2020-12-24 05:48:20 UTC  

As they are.

2020-12-24 05:48:24 UTC  

Right

2020-12-24 05:48:52 UTC  

So, the ball is in Pence's court now. It's up to him at this point.

2020-12-24 05:49:06 UTC  

If Trump doesn't seem rattled by it, nobody else should.

2020-12-24 05:49:21 UTC  

It's really up to members of the GOP to be courageous enough to stand up and object

2020-12-24 05:49:35 UTC  

It only takes one house member and one senate member to contest electors.

2020-12-24 05:49:43 UTC  

Yes

2020-12-24 05:49:51 UTC  

But then they have to debate it

2020-12-24 05:50:00 UTC  

We have enough to make it a problem - we just need turtle shell McConnell to have balls.

2020-12-24 05:50:07 UTC  

But it takes a majority of both houses to overturn a contested vote

2020-12-24 05:50:11 UTC  

Indeed.

2020-12-24 05:50:35 UTC  

I've pretty much accepted that we probably lost

2020-12-24 05:50:47 UTC  

Time to prep more for the war

2020-12-24 05:51:03 UTC  

But it's not about turning over a contested vote - state legislatures are still going through their processes.

2020-12-24 05:51:19 UTC  

The contingent election isn't what Rudy was even going for.

2020-12-24 05:51:24 UTC  

We are at the same place as 2 weeks ago

2020-12-24 05:52:40 UTC  

The idea behind it is to force enough gridlock to bring it to a state by state vote.

2020-12-24 05:52:54 UTC  

Because then the Dems majority in the House is meaningless

2020-12-24 05:53:02 UTC  

Pence himself can force each legislature into special sessions - this is before each chamber gets involved.

2020-12-24 05:53:30 UTC  

As Trump's legal team has been doing since the election.

2020-12-24 05:53:55 UTC  

No he can't. He cannot force a state legislature to have a special session. That would be into actual dictator territory

2020-12-24 05:54:21 UTC  

If that was possible, it would have probably been already done

2020-12-24 05:54:57 UTC  

Unless the split electors meme wasn't real, then I believe you.

2020-12-24 05:55:47 UTC  

The split Electors is significant because it more or less sets the stage for some gridlock on the 6th

2020-12-24 05:56:05 UTC  

It's more the function over the form

2020-12-24 05:57:14 UTC  

We'll see how it goes until then.

2020-12-24 05:58:07 UTC  

If we get a win and some states manage to officially decertify their results, then it becomes easier

2020-12-24 05:58:22 UTC  

What twists my ass is when low-energy people get tired of the fight two months in.

I've been fighting with the VA to cover my neuropathy for 10 years now.

2020-12-24 05:58:44 UTC  

I aint tired, just concerned
