So, a RINO just outed himself? And we're supposed to care why?
It's the more the former because it is what it is (the "numbers" show that is the case, like it or not). However, both blend into each other, but while Joe is the most popular presidential candidate EVAH, and has been President-elect for 2 months now, the media doesn't keep the same levels of tabs on him like they do with Trump.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are these faithless electors? I tried reading up on what exactly faithless electors are but it's very confusing. When do electors pledge to vote a certain way and on what basis?
The problem with rino's is they are almost always spineless cucks who believe in the official narrative even if it's full of Brahman shit.
He doesn't have to win in court. The deal with the electors is that it's purely a political battle now. It would be nice if the courts sided with Trump but Pence (Or Grassley, if the rumours about Pence are true) doesn't actually have to listen to what they say. Most courts, and even the Supreme Court, don't have standing to prevent Pence or whoever from counting these alternative Republican electors instead of the ones certified by the governors.
No. Arizona already had their electors vote for Biden. There were no faithless electors in this election.
Yesterday.
On the basis of the certification of the electoral votes, which goes to the winner of the election in a specific state. Or they just don't, and turn faithless to following out their purpose.
If it's the Michigan GOP, fingers crossed on it being Lex Luthor from the hearing.
They're not faithless electors - they're a separate, competing set of electors. "Faithless electors" would be electors who had been chosen for their pledge to one candidate, but then when the votes get tallied they give their vote to a different candidate. They make their pledge prior to selection, and get selected based on whoever wins the state they're serving as electors for.
Should have kept it, it went more in-depth on what would happen when it reached Pence.
These aren't faithless electors. Faithless electors are electors chosen and certified by whoever (usually the governor) to vote for the popular vote winner, who then cast their electoral vote for an alternate candidate. These aren't they. What these are are an alternate slate of electors entirely, not officially certified by the governor, who have cast their votes for Donald Trump. Basically, this keeps Trump's legal options wide open. So, if they discover that enough ballots in, say, Michigan, are fraudulent that the proper winner of election there is Donald Trump, the President of the Senate (which would typically be Pence but is Chuck Grassley if Pence resigns or recuses himself) can count those alternate electors instead. Whereas if nobody had cast alternate electors for Trump and they found that enough ballots were fraudulent to swing the election, the Democrats could just say 'Oops. Oh well, the electoral voters already voted'.
I'm glad you think so - I just think @CrippleThreat gave a much quicker and too the point explanation.
I'm glad I got more than one reply because it helped clear up my confusion regarding exactly when electors make their pledge and how the electors are selected to vote, which I didn't really get from CrippleThreat's explanation.
I don't think anyone would want that. Though this being said it kinda makes you wonder what will happen to cnn once the trumpbux goes away.
Which? Acting President Pelosi?
They'll die. They'll all die. Journalism is a dying industry in the first place but Trump hate managed to keep many of them afloat. Without Trump to hate, a lot of them are going to go out of business. Thing is that there's still plenty to report during a Biden/Harris administration but they'll never report on it because of their hateful biases.
Your hopium shine so bright Rudolph. It stings.
