Electoral College to gather across country to elect Biden
by Emily Larsen, Political Reporter |
| December 14, 2020 08:58 AM
It's Election Day in America, kind of.
Presidential electors will gather on Monday to select Joe Biden as the next president of the United States, marking one of the final blows to President Trump's challenges to election results. The 51 Electoral College meetings, across 50 states and Washington, D.C., effectively ratify the national election on Nov. 3.
The electors will meet in their respective state capitols across the country, with the earliest states starting at 10 a.m. EST and most states starting before 2 p.m.
Certified state vote tallies are set to give Biden 306 votes to 232 for Trump.
In 2016, Trump had been set to win 306 votes to 232 for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but seven so-called "faithless electors," who defied their states' laws on voting for a certain candidate based on the state's popular vote, resulted in a tally of 304 for Trump and 227 for Clinton. A Supreme Court case decided earlier this year ruled that states can enforce "faithless elector" laws, meaning there could be fewer or no faithless electors this year.
Biden is set to deliver remarks on Monday evening about the Electoral College vote certification and the "strength and resilience of our democracy."
A joint session of Congress will vote on certification of the results on Jan. 6, the last step before Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

Because the President’s lawsuit contesting the Georgia election is still pending, the Republican nominees for Presidential Elector met today at noon at the State Capitol today and cast their votes for President and Vice President.

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.

This means two sets of Electors (for a particular state) will be sent to Congress in January. It is then more or less up to Pence which to count (or to throw out both sets). That is my understanding of the current process.

... in addition to the 6 electoral votes for Biden, same as the other states.
Here's my take on what's going on today and why the Demonrats don't like it.
If, on January 6, two sets of electoral votes are received by the Congress for any state, Pence gets involved as more than a reporter. He sends the two sets of votes for each state, one state at a time, separately to the House and the Senate. If they do not agree on one set, both sets of votes are thrown out. There's another school of thought that says Pence decides, period.
If Biden's electoral college total drops below 270 the election then moves to the House of Representatives and is decided by the one state/one vote rule. (Not by the majority in the House as is being reported by the geniuses in the media)
This is why the Governor of Michigan is sending state troopers to prevent Republican electors from voting.

I thought that was only if one person did not have a majority in the EC. If some electoral votes are thrown out, then the majority is below 270, correct?

Aren't there a lot of gun owners in Michigan who might have something to say about this?
If a million armed citizens flood the streets in front of the Capitol, those state police would do nothing.
Especially after the release of the Dominion machines audit today that said votes are uncertifiable.

Rep. Jordan: 'We Owe It to the American People' to Debate Certified Vote on Jan. 6
On January 6, a joint session of Congress will meet at 1 p.m. to open and count the Electoral College votes and formally declare the winner of the 2020 election.
But under federal law, after listing the votes, "the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives."
"This is real simple -- let the process play out," Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo:......

IMO, that's exactly what Mark Steyn was inferring during his stand-in for Rush Limbaugh today.
Everybody on our side is waiting for somebody to do something. A Conservative doing self-immolation, or something.
A million armed citizens in front of the Capitol would just about do it, too!

The electoral college voted today. If she's got confidence in it, she'll resign her seat. After all, Obama resigned his in November.

Damnit! This wasn't Mayor Daley giving the Oval Office to JFK. This was FOUR or more States using infiltrated voting machines.
It's indisputable! And I'll be god-damned if we fold now.
Why didn't the GOP make challenges to the change of voting methods for 2020 back in 2018-19 when the State presented it for approval?
That's the SCOTUS position it seems.

"The 12th Amendment to the Constitution specifies that 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.†That means that in the case of disputes about competing electoral slates, the President of the Senate—Vice President Pence—would appear to have the ultimate authority to decide which to accept and which to reject. Pence would choose Trump. Democrats would appeal to the Supreme Court.
"Alternatively, if at that point, no candidate has the required 270 electoral votes, the 12th Amendment stipulates, “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 vote of the states would then elect President Trump for a second term. And again, Democrats would appeal that outcome to the Supreme Court."
