This is why you vote even if your state always goes a particular color. It makes it harder for Authoritarian wannabe twats to make this "legal" argument. Republicans in Congress who haven't spoken up are Treasonous non-American cunts. Happy Thanksgiving!

The people of the state of Pennsylvania specifically the most populated areas VOTED BIDEN Rudy! You lost! Fuck off!

January 2020 Republicans: "Let the people decide in election if Trump stays in office" instead of investigating and convicting Trump. WTF?

They weren't expecting to lose.

The Electoral College needs to end! We have the technology to count every vote!

Also, you know, elect non-trash state legislators that won't pull this shit
amk1031
He is correct that the legislature could pass a law that does that. But they would have to do so BEFORE the election.

We must burn the village to save it.
thinkstopthink
Mind if I edit "Treasonous non-American cunts"? How about "Treasonous ant-American cunts"? Think that is more accurate.
wandergeist
The PA Legislature, by law, can only step in if the election in PA wasn't certified before Dec. 8th. It has been. Thus Rudy's blowing smoke.
crittermom69
And the Democratic Governor has already picked electors.

Time to disbar Rudy.
Thephedora
At this point with as many time wasting lawsuits, he clearly has no respect for the judiciary.
heroesblood
His license to practice is suspended due to non-payment.

at this point im thinking of a more brutal route

Please no. Don’t ruin your life. He has already destroyed any future political aspirations of him & his kids.

If Trump somehow reversed Biden’s win with this crap, I don’t want to pay any taxes and be allowed to save that money in order to move away

I believe Wolf and our legislation already signed something weeks ago effectively defining criminal charges should our electors do this.
crittermom69
The electors are already picked per Fetterman, and the Presidential race is certified.
Pseudodraconian
technically he is right, this is in the constitution, that doesn't mean it is the right thing to do, and it has never been done for a reason
EnlightenmentSatori
Riots.
Wiznatts
The Tilden-Hayes election was worse than sending different electors would be. The House traded Hayes the win for ending reconstruction.
Wiznatts
Tilden was winning the popular vote and the electoral college. We got President Hayes because Congress ultimately chooses the President.
shureshot76
Yes it has. Several times actually.
avidatheist
A state has literally never gone against the will of its people for as long as there has been a popular vote for president.
ElvisCatStello
Our ears will be begin to be less deafened if you turn the volume up with some high quality sources... Until then all I hear is gargle.

There isn't anything that can be said to change your mind or that you would even listen to and consider but you will see in December
TheeRealDuke
Weak.
ElvisCatStello
Source or be quiet damn ha! I'll read your argument if you provide a quality source. SInce you're deflecting I'm assuming you are unable to
ThisIsNotCoo1
There is no source, just Trump's leagal team lying to the far right media. They change the story when in front of an actual judge.
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
Electors have voted against the results of the popular vote, but the largest deviation was 8 votes. Biden would still win. This would (1

resetner
No, it has not. Individual electors have voted against pop vote, but never came close to changing the outcome in any state.
EroticZombiePants
I thought PA was one of the many states that kindly told Trump to "fuck off" when that was floated.
chine
he governor will not sign it. All Rudy and Don care about is appearances, so they're riling up the state legislators
OhhHaiMark
Do they genuinely think that if they reverse the election that people will just accept that? That’s a good way to kick of civil war 2
TevishSzat
They think, probably rightly, that the nation as a whole would be too comfortable or cowed to take up arms.
yoyo42
They think _almost_half_ of the people would accept that. They don't seem to care about civil unrest as long as they get richer.
LeftRightThere
This was always the plan.
Scornn
Egregious affront to democracy aside, would that even matter? Biden would still have his 270+ elsewhere?
RyanHYK
Personally think that since Biden won with the same # of votes as Trump had in 2016, Trump wants to avoid losing "by a landslide".
Snooj
They have a ton of battle fronts going right now. Any tiny victory could bolster the rest.
HenryGant
It would matter.
putcleverusernamehere
Big time. Gotta get rid of the electoral college and render this conversation moot
dragonherder
The electoral college largely exists so that the more populace states don't control the whole of the country. Its both good and bad because
dragonherder
it allows the small states to still have a voice in the federal government.
Vamp13
The EC exists to give ex slave owners a disproportionate weight in politics. Please stop spreading small states BS, its not true.
jswhat
What we need to get rid of first is the concept of faithless electors
ItsGoTime
That was the purpose of the senate, I've not seen anything suggesting that was the intention behind the EC.
backrideup9
They have to be setting up for 2024. Break the meaningless seal now, and the floodgates are open for the rest of time.
shureshot76
No. If only the league votes are counted he would have lost by a landslide

Put up or shut up.

Your loser lost, Biden's still your president-elect. Get over it, snowflake.

Weird how the kinds of people who think Trump won are the one's who don't work and lack basic education.

It's not weird and almost by design.
jds2582
This has got to be a troll.
DriverIRQnotlessOrEqual
League votes? Which league? The justice one? The one with the extraordinary gentlemen?
alsoAzrael
I think he means the league of extraordinary trump voters. If you only count those, he won 100% of the vote!
NewHouse32
"league votes"
rickchurianmortydate
I feel sorry for everybody in your family who has to embarrassingly explain they have a crazy Trumpanzee family member.
ElvisCatStello
I think we all have one ha! For me it's my mom's whole side
Assbandit
Thankfully in my family and extended family of mostly physicians not a single Trump supporter ^_^.
newsguycraigevans
That must be nice
rickchurianmortydate
Yeah because the educated don't support Trump.

You people are insane. Trump lost, move on. He can try again in 4 years if he's not in prison.
ElvisCatStello
Kaleopolitus
If I understood the laws correctly, he can try even from within prison.

Relatively sure he could not run from prison at all.

Just looked it up. It's happened before. 1920, Debs

Curlyfrieswednesday
Your man’s lawyer was sweating profusely, shaking and looked like he was melting when talking about these the other day. Really sold it.
bonoboforscale
JFC, affidavits saying things like “I was surprised how many military people voted for Biden” and “I had to stand 10 feet away”. Dumbass
backrideup9
I have a 48" long penis. I'll sign an affidavit to that. See how easy it is to lie when there wont be consequences?
oblimo
The sworn affidavits that contained such bullshit that the Trump team separated them (and this is true) into two groups -
oblimo
1) Affidavits we know are false and 2) Affidavits we don't know aren' true? And then proceeded to get group 2 past the judge?
PballQhead
Which have been accepted as evidence in what court again?
Cthulhuchooseyou
You mean the ones Rudy refuses to let anyone see?
Jazzham
You people keep shouting "SwOrN aFFidAviTs" without ever talking about what's actually in them. Because they are nonsense
ElvisCatStello
How's that going in court? Fine I'm source how he truly would have lost. I want to read some high integrity news source in your stupid claim
ElvisCatStello
Fine, so, source.
resetner
Why haven't those produced any results in court?
shureshot76
They did just yesterday in PA
crazyspelling
Don't read the news, read the court docket. Zero evidence that wasn't fabricated or retracted.
crazyspelling
Also, your boy needs 44,000 votes minimum in three states. Even if he had "a few thousand" of *anything* he still loses.
GCRust
The idea is if they can get Penn to sign on, other states that flipped Blue would follow suite.
BookLvr6
We'd probably burn down the State Capitol with the LT. Governor Fetterman leading the way.
MissDashLisa
I'm just gonna snowball off of that: BBQ? let's eat the rich.

Syaoron
I'm game
dragonherder
PA didn't "flip blue" we are a swing state/battleground state that is rather notorious for going either or. Flipping usually refers to a
failsafe
I mean, PA has been blue for president since 92. I would say it was flipped in 2016.
dragonherder
state that is typically a stronghold for one side suddenly going to another side. PA is a swing state and trump did all he could to block
TheGrubinator
For instance, Georgia flipped for the first time in 28 years.
dragonherder
mail in votes from getting counted including not allowing pre-sorting or pre-counting the number of ballots.
thanatos777
Pennsylvania was red in 2016, and blue in 2020, so it "flipped blue." That's all he's saying.
ReleaseTheBeeees
Surely it depends on the reception. If Philadelphia burns the state to the ground in outrage, I can't see anyone else going for it
BookLvr6
State Capitol is Harrisburg and let me tell you that's a county that wouldn't mind going back to jail.
DreamingOfDistantShores
And there's zero percent chance that Philadelphia does not do that, in such a situation. And nearby states too, just as collateral damage.
BluePaladin42
Even if it didn't change the election, if this happened even once, then any reason to actually trust the voting process is gone. Frankly-
BluePaladin42
-if a state changes it's electoral vote against the voters AND their own vote certification, then it's just time to revolt.
AgnesMcGillicuddy
It has happened quite a few times.
BluePaladin42
The state legislator put in new electors to vote for the losing candidate? This is more than just faithless electors, this is about trying-
BluePaladin42
-to get the state's law makers to FORCE faithless electors.
