    The Constitution does not say that.

    If Pence fails to do his constitutional duty, he will be pushed aside and the president pro-tem will do it.

    You are delusional if you truly believe that one person decides the president.

    It's you vs the Constitution. It says ALL. If he chooses not open some, he hasn't opened ALL. My youngest nephew is capable of understanding this.

    It doesn't say he can choose. It says the opposite. It says he is obligated to open ALL.

    So this didn't seem to have turned out all that well for the "alternate electors", lol. Biden still got 306.

    What? Every state has two potential sets. When they certify the winner of the state, they choose the winning candidate's slate.

    Those slates cast their EC votes on Monday. Those are the ONLY ballots that can be opened in Washington. You have been misled if you believe otherwise.

    Their "plan" is more convoluted than that. If they had just managed to send Republican electors for the Electoral College vote, those would have just been faithless electors, which I think are legal in Georgia, not sure. No, they are actually proposing to have alternate electors as in alternative to the ones that voted in those 306. They want to send an alternate list for when Congress counts the vote on January 6th and try to replace the ones that already voted.

    Yes it is. At least you have not completely lost touch with reality.

    However, your continued insistence that there is any doubt or scope for changing the EC vote is simply wrong. The only ballots that Pence will be able to open are those that were cast by the Electors chosen by the states. Those electors have already voted, and the vote was 306-232.

    The only remaining step is for Congress to open THOSE BALLOTS. Not any others.

    Exactly. The votes have already been cast.

    They are literally trying to steal the election in a coup.

    Of course not. Do you have proof that the votes that were proven to be illegal, were counted?

    I think we can look at your track record of "bombshell" claims over the last 8 weeks and pretty much just dismiss any of
    your claims out-of-hand. Not one has gone beyond the internet rumor stage.

    I mean these seditious clowns who falsely claim to be Electors for the Electoral College, casting, casting phony and illegal votes.

    Actually, I really hope that what they are doing IS illegal, and that they are arrested and charged.

    Yeah, well even Senate GOP is pretty much taking this as being a done deal. None of this is going to come of anything, though we knew that more than a month ago. It was nothing more than a desperate grasp by a dying group of Cultists to keep their Dear Leader in power and relevant.

    Mitch McConnell declared it over yesterday.

    Anyone in the GOP who didn’t hear that loud and clear had better be planning their next career.

    This entire "contest the Election" fantasy has been a MOOT point since Biden was declared the Winner on Nov. 7th.
