Who do you tip to win the US presidential election

[Lancer]

Its like a set of steps, at each it appears to CNN that the *******, Trump, failed again! The top step is the Supreme Court. That's where we are now. Things are lookin up. This is the only step that matters, all that came before, that CNN had such fun trying to convince everyone that Biden was in fact the pres elect, (he isn't) and that Trump lost (he hasn't), in reality only served to get us where we are now. If "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen", then the electors of the four corrupted states get tossed, nobody makes it to 270, and it goes to the state legislatures, each of whom get one vote, and the majority of whom are Republican, and Trump is elected. At this point the Left, who have been kept in the dark and fed ****, freak the **** out. That will be fun.

[Kidlicious]

Yeah, kind of like when the Mueller report came out saying that there was no evidence of collusion but on steroids.

[Lancer]

The Left is so involved with their emotionalism, vindictively burning down Left cities, so filled with Hatred for Trump that they have become blinded to reason, have neglected to notice that they are in fact completely full of crap. I know that Kid, you know that, but some folks are so emotion filled you can't argue with them, its quite pointless, and you must have noticed this. Results give sight to the blind, nothing else. My guess is all that emotion gets realeased in an EPIC WTF!!?! when the blinders come off, and then all that hate and misery will flow out into the streets. Keep your head down amigo, its going to get ugly. UGLY.

If the electors for multiple states could actually "get tossed", then 270 would no longer be required for a majority.

[Lancer]

Well, true, but...the Constitution, you know. States it takes 270. Does not state it takes "a majority."

Perhaps its another reason to call them "the toss up" states.

I do not love the smell of napalm in the morning. Victory smells different to me. It smells like...well, this. Napalm smells like gas, yuck.

The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;–the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;–The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing 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. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.–]The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Nice trolling

[Lancer]

Right, but the majority they are on about is the majority of the total of all the states electors, 270. Otherwise the rest of it, which accurately describes what I have been saying all along, would not be needed. In other words, if it only took a basic majority, as 2 is more than one, why go on about the state legislatures? Do you get it?

[Lancer]

Nice trolling

Thanks!

Because they anticipated that there could be more than two candidates who receive votes?

[Lancer]

Runoff...

[Lancer]

Actually that's a guess, it was a good question.

[Jon Miller]

If Texas has standing, then Illinois can sue Texas and so on. Elections will be decided by court and not by vote.

The standing argument doesn't make sense.

JM
(I understand that is how Trumpsters think 2000 was decided, but it wasn't, as I described above.)

[Lancer]

Other than going to war, which really didn't work out too well for Texas last go round, the o n l y recourse in state vs state is the Supreme Court.

[Lancer]

Another state could certainly sue Texas, but their election proceeded according to the Constitution.
