Honestly, I’d be surprised if he gets convicted of anything and even more so if he actually goes to jail. I just don’t see it happening tbh

Agree, but I believe everyone that is close to him, including family, may be prosecuted, and if convicted and jailed, I’d be ok with that.

It's bizarre that someone can say "we're the good guys" and also say "we need faithless electors". Like, since when was that virtuous?

Trump will be free to hold his campaign rallies every single day if he wants to, but rallies cost $$ and I wonder where that will come from.

Didn't he just raise like $170m by wringing out his supporters? Something tells me they will happily pay for his bullshit.

Yep, and so his rallies need to make money and if they do make money, he'll keep having them.

I read some b.s. about Congress having to accept the electorate and Republicans can reject and then it goes to the House

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Going to the House requires a lack of majority in the Electoral College, but there is not presently any mechanism for that to happen. 1/2

The only mechanism to exclude electors at this point requires the House of Representatives to agree to it. 2/2

I have no idea if this is the way it works or not... oh and somewhere in here the Democrats will take it to SCOTUS who will say no standing

Suffice it to say, that is not correct in the house, only the senate, but the motion would need to pass by a majority in both.

Can and will and won't matter because a majority of the house would have to vote to throw out the electors votes.

The biggest reason it has no chance is currently it would lead to Acting President Pelosi. If Rs controlled both houses it gets stickier.

Technically that's what they were hoping for, because each state only gets 1 elector in that case, and reps control more states.

Isn't that only if there's not an electoral college majority? We're past that point now.

The goal is that they challenge and invalidate enough votes to bring Biden under 270. It's stupid, but it's technically possible by law.
