Appeal to SCOTUS (to review decision of PA Supreme Court). WTF does the SCOTUS do? Will they dictate to PA how to select electors? It's fascinating and terrifying at the same time. Yeah, I've got a bunch of people to thank for voting for Trump in the first place.

Last I checked, you guys have a Dem (Shapiro) but even a cultist governor is going to be limited by the courts if he tries to act unilaterally against what's in his state's constitution. OK, so governor doesn't sign off and PA doesn't submit any electors. Advantage Trump. The failure of the Democrats to address these weaknesses in the system is gross negligence.

Deal with it" when trying to decide if someone is a Trump supporter. I like how you quote only half of the comment and cherry pick the parts that you like. What does the rest of it say? Here let me help you.... Looks like I also call Trump stupid. And say I will laugh at BOTH of them.

I have to agree, fascinating how we set this country up, and terrifying if we let someone bring it down.

May 31, 20242 yr I'd be more worried about what the cult does if trump loses than what he actually does
May 31, 20242 yr PA law seems to say that the Governor appoints the electors, but if litigation ties things up to the safe harbor date, the legislature can step in. Maybe PA won't work, but there's WI, MI, GA, AZ, etc. There's going to be complete chaos. Trump and his people will never stop if they lose.
May 31, 20242 yr If the electoral vote is close enough then it will only take one or two states to not send electors and it goes to the House.

Kemp's already proven he won't play ball with Trump here in GA. Wisconsin has a Dem gov. As does AZ. Not a lot of opportunities for the Trump people to cheat here. Probably GA's their best bet, but I'd be surprised if A. Kemp went along with it and B. if it was enough anyway.

The failure of the Democrats to address these weaknesses in the system is gross negligence. That's more likely than a false slate being submitted and approved like you initially said, but overall is still very unlikely unless we're looking at some razor thin margins. That also doesn't help Trump win, it just draws out the process. I get what you mean in that any level of chaos is what he wants, but state level cultists can kick and scream all they want, it won't get Trump closer to the white house at the end of the day.

Hey, quick question. How come we don't have to think about these scenarios if the Dems lose? Aren't they the ones who steal elections?

Same scenario already in MI, which is why it was never in doubt desipte all the BS the legislature tried to pull in 2020. And I think the Electoral Count Reform Act tried to standardize this across all states for this very reason.

May 31, 20242 yr It also addresses the states’ side of the equation. It codifies that the executive of each state sends forward the state’s slate of electors. The law indicates that, in this context, "the executive” is usually a governor. But if state law in effect prior to the election explicitly identifies another officer, such as the secretary of state, that works as well—the law simply requires certainty before the election. https://www.ncsl.org/state-legislatures-news/details/what-the-electoral-count-reform-act-means-for-states#:~:text=The law also clarifies that,laws relating to presidential electors.

I get what you mean in that any level of chaos is what he wants, but state level cultists can kick and scream all they want, it won't get Trump closer to the white house at the end of the day. If they can somehow get a couple states to have no votes, that could swing it to Trump. I'm not saying they will succeed...but they will damn well try. Article II states: Quote The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. So now we get into arguing about "the whole Number of Electors appointed." If PA casts no votes, then it seems you would only need 260 to win (majority of 519 with PA's 20 never coming in). But if they send Trump votes that are then excluded, does Biden need 260 or 270? Can be read both ways. Like I said -- prepare for chaos.
