Since he's ahead by 10 electorals, if the states split electors he still wins.

And this is before the 12th Amendment comes in with a contingent election.

Don't one of them have to get 270 or it goes to the 12 amendment?

If NO states are removed, but no candidates get 270, then the 12th comes.

Like if a third party gets enough electoral votes, for example.

Ohhhhhhh

That's not how that actually works...

The 12th allows Congress to vote with the House voting for President

And the Senate for VP

Each state gets 1 vote per state

And do you know HOW each state decides its vote?

Because they can't choose, they're required to vote a specific way under certain conditions.

Instead of delegates, it goes by delegation. If the state legislature is majority Republican then they're voting republican.

Tomorrows a new day I wont stress myself over this no more tonight

Shit you shouldn't be stressing about it at all.

Yes, that's why the 6th, when this all happens is actually the important day because nothing can happen untill the 6th

I stress about the fate of this country every day

Tomorrow, you do realize is a lame duck session?

Its my curse

Exactly. If Pence slaps his cock on the table tomorrow, he can force state legislatures to hold special sessions and give them until the 6th.

Bad things happen to them if they don't comply.

The federal government cannot force the state legislatures to hold special sessions. That literally shoots the very tenats of federalism out of a cannon.

Because if they could, they would have a month ago

The federal government can't, but the constitution can.

Show me where

Title 3 sec 1-12

1-21*

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/3/chapter-1

Guess this'd be easier.

Title 3 sec 2 specifically talks about a state's elector's failure to make a proper choice. Their legislature is required to take over.

That's not how that works. I just read through all those sections. They don't describe in any function, unless I missed it, that the President of the Senate can force a special session. And the issue, which everyone seems to be forgetting when I say this 18 times...is that all those sections only cover if the vote certification never happened. Not if it was wrong. That's why Kemp is such a cockbag

Sec 2 is what you're looking for, man.

I'm literally reading it

If they fail, their legislature must fix it. The president of the senate would invoke that title.

He cannot invoke that.

Yes, he can.

That is for if they fail to choose at all

Yes, like a de-certification.

Or those dueling electors that all seven battleground states sent.

Seems an awful lot like an inability to choose to me.

Right, and the state Executive branch or legislature has to call for the decertification themselves
