The Electoral College is the last chance to stop a presidential election from going off a cliff. Let’s take some examples.

The Electoral College Meets Data Pattern Science
Too many Americans who never had a civics class are learning about the Electoral College, which they are coming to realize may be James Madison’s “Do-Over Button” for times just like these. (If you are under 35, Madison was a president a long time ago.)

So, turn the election over to the House of Representatives, which has a Demonrat majority and expect what, a different outcome? Yep, that's a plan.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fookin' dumbass.

Each state only gets one vote. It actually works out to 26 to 23 with one tie, advantage republicans
DeleteEach state Delegation gets one vote and there is a republican majority per state in the house. I.e. 26 states have more republican representatives than democrat; therefore, more votes for Trump. That’s assuming the republicans don’t double cross him.
DeleteIt will go to the Supreme court before it goes to the House.
DeleteVoting discrepancy has jurisdiction in the court.
It's one vote per state.
DeleteRepublicans hold a majority of the states.
Each state gets one vote. Read before opining.
DeleteNo, Nemo, each state gets 1 in this case. And since Republicans control 26 state legislatures versus 23 for the Democrats....
DeleteAs I sw it explained elsewhere - each state gets one, repeat ONE, vote each when voting takes place in the House.
DeleteIf that is the case, it doesn't matter how many reps the Dems have at the time of the vote.
The issue then becomes, what will the state rep vote for and how many states are GOP vs Dem.
Looks like you didnt take civics. It goes by state majority, which the republicans hold.
DeleteSo, yeah, the Republicans - who, at a national level, are busy congratulating Joe Biden for winning and calling for Trump to concede - have more votes, so if it goes to the House, Biden wins what, 47-3? 45-5, if he's really unlucky?
DeleteWho's the dumbass now, Nemo?
DeleteIn this circumstance each state only gets one vote. In this version, Trump will win.
ReplyDeleteWell, not quite, Nemo.
ReplyDeleteWhen the election gets sent to the House each state delegation gets exactly one vote regardless of the number of house members. That's 50 votes total. It means Wyoming has the same clout as California, and Utah has the same as New York.
Actually if it goes to the house each state gets one vote, and 26 state delegations are republican, so yes, Trump is President for 4 more years.
ReplyDeleteWith all this fraud and treasonous BS going on, can someone reassure me again how safe it’s going to be for the Gov’t to migrate us to digital currency?
ReplyDeleteAgain it goes to the Supreme court before the house... I cite Al Gore vs George W Bush 2000. SCOTUS for the decision.
ReplyDeleteWhile I understand your thinking, that was a totally different type of case, based upon a different set of issues. That was not based upon possible voter fraud, but on the "hanging chads" question.
DeleteIn this case, I suspect that it will go to the SCOTUS, who will then kick it to the House, bypassing the electoral college, since they will find the election too filled with fraud to allow it to count for anything. But like just about everything having to do with the law, especially in DC, it will turn out to be much more complicated than expected,or even conceived of by the founding fathers, no matter how smart and well prepared they were for just such an occasion as this.
