Cont: 2024 Election Thread part 3

Article II says that each state must appoint electors, the number of which must equal the sum of the Reps and Senators apportioned to that state. The appointment process is left up to each state legislature -- so far, so good, I suppose. But I don't see that the electors, having been duly appointed, need to turn in a tally sheet that isn't all zeros. Wouldn't this be equivalent to voting "present" to fulfill Article II, without actually contributing anything for Congress to count?


ETA: ninja'd by DevilsAdvocate in re the revised Electoral Count Act and the Twelfth Amendment.

Double jerk or just one huge jerk?

Good to hear he's still self-sabotaging. No one tell him he's increasingly just considered weird and boring, like some celebrity who went viral early in their career and has since been forced to be a one-trick pony since their fans only know and love them for that one thing they got famous for.

West Virgina proposes state resolution that suggests refusing to certify the results of the 2024 election if the Democrat wins and the Republican has an assassination attempt made against them.

Noteworthy the law doesn't include the opposite.

Tell them to feel free to secede and close their border and adopt their own currency. Joblessness, poverty and hunger goes a long way to bringing idiots to their senses.

What's even the point of a rally? It's not the 1920s you don't have to do the whole whistlestop train tour thing to get your message out, even the rural areas have TV and internet.

Trump, sadly, really is the only recent politicians where a cult of personality pep rally makes sense within his persona.

The point is to seek praise for himself.

Why people come had been to see the phenom.Now it's the same boring spiel so the are no longer finding the same excitement.

Why does it seem that those who bleat the loudest about America and patriotism and the constitution and rights and “the greatest nation in the world” and and and…do nothing but lather those words with their rancid spit?

I agree the WV action is outrageous, but I think you fail to distnigush between real and phony patriotrism.
Of course I think the failure to take patrotrism back from the right is one of the huge mistakes Liberals have made over the past thirty years.

Ironic in view of how West Virginia became a state...

Donald is getting more crazy
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Lyin’ Kamala, who is being exposed as a “dummy” every time she does a show, just stated to the degenerates on The View that she would have done nothing different than Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. The Lamestream Media doesn’t want to pick up the story, the dumb women on the show wish they never asked her the question that led to that Election Defying answer, but the Internet is going WILD. For starters, THE BORDER DISASTER, WITH MURDERERS AND EVERYONE ELSE BEING ALLOWED TO INVADE OUR COUNTRY, WORST INFLATION IN HISTORY, THE UKRAINE DISASTER, OCTOBER 7TH WITH ISRAEL, LOSS OF ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, THE AFGHANISTAN DEBACLE, LOSS OF RESPECT ALL OVER THE GLOBE, AND MUCH MORE! Her dumbest answer so far!

A desperate, crazy man is the most dangerous of all. Sick, sick, sick.

ETA: That really shows just how much they triggered him.

More like "Gangnam Style".

 
Like all crimes in the minds of Republicans illegal immigration isn't something you do, it's not an act you actually commit, it's a demographic you part of.

About 75,000 (rough estimate) Canadians are in the US illegally and nobody cares about those.

I have for a long time maintined if a majority of illegal immigrants were white Canadains, we would not even be having a discussion.
It's hatred of people with brown and black skin. That is what the MAGA hatred of illegal immegriants amounts to.

We're done as a democracy.

ETA: Maybe it's not so bad as I initially thought, as the operative phrase in all the resolved clauses is that W.Va. "will not recognize an election for President." A state "recognizing" an election for president means nothing constitutionally, it's just posturing.

Except for one resolved clause, which requires a special session of the legislature if any fraud is determined by the state so that they can consider their options, which presumably would include not certifying a slate of electors, especially if Harris wins the E.C. and even if W. Va. goes for Trump.

Practically it makes little difference, since WV is not a swing state, it is pretty solid red.
 
Florida is about to get hammered bit time by Hurricane Miltiion..will amost certainly make landfall as a 5..and the governor prefers to play stupid political games.
