>>The state legislatures step in and asserts its Article II Section 1 power and selects the Electors directly.

Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin all have R senates and houses.

Wasn’t Florida’s Supreme Court a player?

I predict a Trump electoral landslide...and I’m sober. There you go.

The one that is seated when the SCOTUS case is deemed a tie.

One thing is sure - one sees almost no talk of a “Trump landslide” any more

Are you insane?

I know you are a troll, but this election will not even be close.

The only reason we are the least bit concerned is because of mail in voting, but I think the margin will be so great, that the bastards that you are pimping for will not even try to cheat.

Go back to du.

Where is the ZOT KAT?

As a matter of fact, I think the EV amount will be clear enough to declare a winner on election night...so all this navel gazing is just that.

President Trump is still the President until the next President is installed.

Tuesday probably. The Hispanic was approved by this same Senate 80 to 15 in Nov 2019.

Correct although the language in the 12th is mushy.

There no doubt will be legal issues that will have to be settled. 4-4 is just a recipe for disaster.

The height of political dysfunction. It doesn’t get much worse than that.

320-340 would not be a landslide.

Yet in reality it will be.

there are five conservative justices and three liberal justices, but Roberts isn't always a reliable conservative vote.

One would hope that in such situations as we are discussing, Roberts (who seems most concerned with the image of the court), would side the the Justices who vote to resolve the issue, not with the Justices who vote to prolong it.

Which tells me the Dems liked what they heard...and that means she’s NOT a real conservative. I think her experience is lacking....way behind Barrett for sure.

Won’t matter. Rs will have the delegation advantage.

If the situation gets that messed up we handle it with mud wrestling.

Won’t matter. The delegations is all that matters. Rs will have a 26-24 or 27-23 delegation lead.

Trump wins.

"...there is another contested election and the court splits evenly on who should be president..."
