Despite the press reports, Joe Biden does not have 270 guaranteed Electors
Seven States of the US have sent alternate electors to Congress, also known as “Dueling Electors”. This keeps Electors for Donald Trump in play until January 6. Those states are Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada & New Mexico. This keeps alive the possibility that Congress can endorse Electors for Trump in those states.
In Michigan, the GOP electors were refused entry to the State Chamber. There are claims that Governor Whitmer ordered some 200 officers to guard the doorway, allegedly over “security concerns”? So at least one Democrat governor is acting as if the archiac subclause of alternate electors is still quite the threat to Biden’s election.
Alternate Electors sent from 7 US states, @KyleBecker
In other news Bill Barr resigns before Christmas.Who knows, is he clearing the way for the new AG to enact EO 13848? The split was amicable with Barr writing a glowing resignation letter about Trump.
Kyle Becker on Duelling Electors
My intepretation of the dueling Electors process can be found here, but I encourage people to do their own research because we’re heading into arcane territory. Regardless of where this all leads, the history books will have to note that some state legislatures were *NOT* okay with certifying fraudulent ballots in the 2020 election.
The official news and press release:
GOP electors cast votes for Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania
Washington Times
Republican electors in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania cast votes for President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence on Monday in hopes a court might overturn Joseph R. Biden‘s win, even as the Electoral College voted across the nation to certify the Democrat’s victory.
Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer said Republican electors met at the state capitol to cast votes for Mr. Trump because a Trump campaign lawsuit challenging the state’s election is still pending.
“Had we not meet today and cast our votes, the President’s pending election contest would have been effectively mooted. Our action today preserves his rights under Georgia law,” Mr. Shafer tweeted.
Republican Electors Case Procedural Vote @PAGOP
Harrisburg PA: At the request of the Trump campaign, the Republican presidential electors met today in Harrisburg to case a conditional vote for Donald Trump and Mike Pence for Vice President respectively.
“We took this procedural vote to preserve any legal claims that may be presented going foward” said Bernie Comfort, Pennsylvania Chair of the Trump Campaign. “This was in no way an effort to usurp or contest the will of the Pennsylvania voters.”
Today’s move by Republican party electors is fashioned after the 1960 Presidential election, in which President Nixon was declared the winner in Hawaii. While Democrat legal challenges were pending, Democratic presidential electors met to case a conditional vote for John F Kennedy to preserve their intent in the event of future favourable legal outcomes.
Donald Trump had warned that legislators who certify votes as being legally compete and correct when there was massive fraud are committing a severally punishable crime. Perhaps that helped to motivate nervous or weak Republican legislators?
Swing States that have found massive VOTER FRAUD, which is all of them, CANNOT LEGALLY CERTIFY these votes as complete & correct without committing a severely punishable crime. Everybody knows that dead people, below age people, illegal immigrants, fake signatures, prisoners and many others voted illegally. Also, machine “glitches” (another word for FRAUD), ballot harvesting, non-resident voters, fake ballots, “stuffing the ballot box”, votes for pay, roughed up Republican Poll Watchers, and sometimes even more votes than people voting, took place in Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and elsewhere. In all Swing State cases, there are far more votes than are necessary to win the State, and the Election itself. Therefore, VOTES CANNOT BE CERTIFIED. THIS ELECTION IS UNDER PROTEST!
