Wait! Wait! It's not over!! The COTUS can still reject the Electoral Votes
U.S. House of Representatvies ^ | 12-19-16

Objections

Since 1887, 3 U.S.C. 15 sets the method for objections to electoral votes. During the Joint Session, Members of Congress may object to individual electoral votes or to state returns as a whole. An objection must be declared in writing and signed by at least one Representative and one Senator. In the case of an objection, the Joint Session recesses and each chamber considers the objection separately in a session which cannot last more than two hours with each Member speaking for no more than five minutes.

After each house votes on whether or not to accept the objection, the Joint Session reconvenes and both chambers disclose their decisions. If they agree to the objection, the votes in question are not counted. If either chamber does not agree with the objection, the votes are counted.

Much like the end of “Carrie,” where Cissy Spacek’s hand comes out of the grave to grab Amy Irving.

Unlikely, in a GOP Congress.

The vote counting in a joint session of Congress on Jan 6 is simply declaring the result before the country.

Trump’s enemies only recourse is impeachment. Good luck with it.

They are thinking they can get Trump impeached and removed within the first six months. Because the RINOs will be willing to join the Dems in doing such. Fat chance.

They tried this with GW Bush in 2000 and 2004. I didnt go anywhere in 2000 because they didnt have a senator. In 2004 they did and it still went nowhere.

I think losing three times constitutes a ‘schlonging’. What comes after schlonging? Buggery?

By my math the dem’s would need to invalidate 78 Trump votes. That’s more than 1/4 of all of them. Not a chance in Hades.
