It only takes one house member and one senate member to contest electors.
Yes
But then they have to debate it
We have enough to make it a problem - we just need turtle shell McConnell to have balls.
But it takes a majority of both houses to overturn a contested vote
Indeed.
I've pretty much accepted that we probably lost
Time to prep more for the war
But it's not about turning over a contested vote - state legislatures are still going through their processes.
The contingent election isn't what Rudy was even going for.
We are at the same place as 2 weeks ago
The idea behind it is to force enough gridlock to bring it to a state by state vote.
Because then the Dems majority in the House is meaningless
Pence himself can force each legislature into special sessions - this is before each chamber gets involved.
As Trump's legal team has been doing since the election.
No he can't. He cannot force a state legislature to have a special session. That would be into actual dictator territory
If that was possible, it would have probably been already done
Unless the split electors meme wasn't real, then I believe you.
The split Electors is significant because it more or less sets the stage for some gridlock on the 6th
It's more the function over the form
If we get a win and some states manage to officially decertify their results, then it becomes easier
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.
I aint tired, just concerned
You know what I'm talking about: tons of doomers.
We are not in a good spot. That's for sure. But it was never going to be easy
They got excited and then had a fucking melt down when the Texas case got pushed back to the lower court.
Exactly lmao
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
that was depressingly funny
We're not in a good spot as a country, but on the Trump train I think we're fine.
We are not on as solid ground as we should be
We weren't going to be anyway.
Honestly if we do lose I hope we seceded
Let commiefornia engulf the rest of the blue states thoroughly and watch them burn
If the ground is moving like teh j3w, move with it.
The Texas case didn't get moved to a lower court.
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
People hedged their hopes on the Texas case so quickly, going quickly braindead over the main plan.
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
