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

As they have.

They can call for it all they want, they're sounding the alarm to put it in motion.

But they haven't fully done it yet. But Pence does not have that power to do it. He can demand it sure, but they can tell him to fuck off

But the deadline to send electors must pass before the next step can continue.

Which statute wise it did

Yes, tomorrow is when it goes to Congress.

And whatever happens, happens.

It already went to Congress

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

All that shit is sealed

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

Yes...on the 6th

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

Read section 15

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

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

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

Yeah I see that now.

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

As they are.

Right

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

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