    Maybe we should just vote for the state legislatures and then let them choose the president.

    Clearly us simple people are not qualified to choose a national leader. As we did choose Trump in 2016 so that shows how dumb we can be

    That's called Republicanism.

    Something the majority of those on the Left usually express that they do not like.

    I did some research last night and was amazed to find that actually 16 states do not bind their electors legally. Some states have “pledged” electors, meaning they “pledge” to vote based on the popular vote for their state. So here comes the “but”, in states that dont bind their electors by law, there is no punishment for voting against the popular vote except being removed as an elector, and that only happens AFTER the vote.

    The research was very interesting to say the least

    Fairvote.org is a great pace to start and they break it down better than most

    The fetid fecal matter will continue to be spit out of the WH for the next 48 days and echoed by the evil ones at Fox "News" Network.

    Yeah, what could go wrong in a democratic vote.......FFS

    The EC is an outdated concept. And the NPVIC will make it obsoletet it in the next 10 years.

    Obama did not spy on the Trump campaign. That a FACT. Nobody spied on the campaign. You know that Mueller Report you all claim was the gospel because it “exonerated” Trump, it very clearly states it in that same report ;)

    Again, two guys have plead guilty to falsifying the FISA requests. So Obama could use the FBI to spy on the transition team. The case against Flynn fell apart because of the evidence that Obama used his agencies on US soil to illegally spy on a political opponent. These are the facts. What do you believe you gain by suggesting this didn't happen? Biden was in on this. We know this. We know who the participants are. These are matters of public record now.

    JFC.

    NO, the FISA court said they had unsupported evidence (at the time they got the warrants) that they used to get the warrants. NONE of them was Obama, and it was NOT used to spy on the campaign. You obviously didn't read the Mueller Report, and you clearly dont know what a FISA warrant is

    Read the Mueller report and understand the basic concept that a FISA warrant allowed them to listen to Carter Page ONLY when he was talking with a foreign nationals. AND....most FISA warrants only allow for specific searches in the call records. They dont actually listen in on the calls, they mine the call records and transcripts.

    WTF......The case against Flynn didnt "fall apart"....he was pardoned. He was found GUILTY. Trump pardoned him to cover his own ass, not Flynns.

    We also know for a fact per the Mueller Report that Obama was NOT part of this, nor was Biden. The Mueller report actually goes on to say that their was "no evidence of political bias"

    You can have your own opinion, but you dont get to have your own facts.

    Take your own advice. You cannot profane your way to credibility here. Your "facts" are you opinion, and frankly it's a tad smelly.

    One hopes you repeated that in a mirror a couple of times. Perhaps you'll learn something.

    There won't be enough "faithless electors" to bump Biden down below 270. And there are some states where it would be illegal for the electors to go against the votes of their state

    Yes, you guys said from the beginning that you would never accept the results unless Trump won. Now you are inventing "fraud" without evidence in order to avoid confronting reality.

    Agreed and that is why Trump will continue to try to find other ways to subvert the process.
    Also, don't assume that if 12/14 passes without issue, that 1/6 will not have issues with Pence/McConnell running the show

    That’s false. Of course you could provide evidence of your claim. But we all know you just made it up.

    Has Trump lost 38 or 39 cases so far?

    Hard to keep track.

    Perhaps we should have an annual award for the forum: Most Creative BS 2020.

    Definitely dogs in the manger...

    Had you looked, you would have seen that another poster did just that.

    I disagree; Trump and his minions are attempting to steal the election (even thought most of his staff privately recognize this); if SCOTUS throws out their case, then do it through tossing out the certifications and in states where the republicans control both houses, get it that way, thus undermining the system.

    And yes, lets put all the votes into a pile and whoever gets the most votes wins, sort of like majority rules. The republicans only have themselves to blame.

    Sounds like your original claim was already said into a mirror.

    A GOP Legislature (in a state Won by Biden) would have ZERO Chance of Implementing any plan to appoint electors.

    It is a non-starter and won't happen.

    Maybe not, but this thing is far from over - Trump and his enablers will keep on trying to find a way to overturn this until noon on 1/20. There is no depths he will not sink to make this coup happen. He has nothing to lose as long as the republican party stays quiet (and they will)

    Jan 6 - you will see republicans try to sabotage the acceptance of the electoral counts if the courts have not given Trump what he wants

    I know many are confident that it is a done deal and I hope all of you are right, but the benefits of being evil are that normal boundaries (i.e, laws) don't apply. History is full of people who have shown that
