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

2020-12-24 05:58:59 UTC  

You know what I'm talking about: tons of doomers.

2020-12-24 05:59:04 UTC  

We are not in a good spot. That's for sure. But it was never going to be easy

2020-12-24 05:59:18 UTC  

They got excited and then had a fucking melt down when the Texas case got pushed back to the lower court.

2020-12-24 05:59:42 UTC  

Exactly lmao

2020-12-24 05:59:48 UTC  

That's why Ive been trying to tell people the truth about this Pence card thing. To slap some black pills out of the mouth

2020-12-24 05:59:51 UTC  

that was depressingly funny

2020-12-24 06:00:08 UTC  

We're not in a good spot as a country, but on the Trump train I think we're fine.

2020-12-24 06:00:29 UTC  

We are not on as solid ground as we should be

2020-12-24 06:00:40 UTC  

We weren't going to be anyway.

2020-12-24 06:00:44 UTC  

Honestly if we do lose I hope we seceded

2020-12-24 06:01:13 UTC  

Let commiefornia engulf the rest of the blue states thoroughly and watch them burn

2020-12-24 06:01:20 UTC  

If the ground is moving like teh j3w, move with it.

2020-12-24 06:01:42 UTC  

The Texas case didn't get moved to a lower court.

2020-12-24 06:02:55 UTC  

The GOP just wanted Trump out of the way so they can go to business as usual and just do the bullshit statesmen dance and get donations for their reelection campaigns. They're not going to sell out the entire party. That's why Mitch was so concerned about not having the vote. If they look anti-Trump they lose the party and then they can't do the bullshit

2020-12-24 06:03:43 UTC  

People hedged their hopes on the Texas case so quickly, going quickly braindead over the main plan.

2020-12-24 06:03:56 UTC  

The GA runoff election is going to go off without a hitch, and be an actual legit election because if not, Kemp looses the only lifeline he has left
