Ping.
A few us watched the hearing, and the special session is in the works.
Great if it happens.
PA and GA seem like obvious SCOTUS wins but we have to have the other states moving to change so the point won’t be moot.
UPDATE: Project Veritas breaking some news tomorrow morning...
This guys twitter page has some uncontainable graphics. Are those the Ascended Masters?
The Michigan legislature is the weakest link (IMO). Especially with their House Speaker (Lee Chatfield).

FAKE “NEWS” - for now.
Arizona State Rep. Mark Finchem said, “There is a legal brief out there that says we are not tethered to state statue. When it comes to this one question, a simple majority can call the House and Senate back, and in a day pass a resolution, and cause those electors to basically be held. And it is binding. I’ll see you all in court.”
I believe this is true, and should be a blueprint for all these other state legislators who keep making process excuses for why they don’t do what the US Constitution clearly allows.
Too fast. The hearing concluded a few hours ago. The organizer of the hearing stated he was going to call for a special session, but I doubt they’ve been able to wrangle the votes so fast.
If AZ does do the right thing, maybe it’ll shame PA into calling a special session and following suit.
I thought the Governor had to call a special session?
One of the replies in that thread:

Today @dougducey ignored overwhelmingly evidence of voter fraud, corruption and criminality by certifying Arizona’s election. It is malfeasance and reeks of questionable conduct that must be investigated. Thank you @MarkFinchem and members of your committee for their courage.”
Check with Mark Finchem and his committee, to see if a special session will be held.
One of the legislators at the hearing called for a special session, but I don’t know that one has been scheduled.
A few good politicians left in the US? You can knock me over with down feather.
I’m getting spam account vibes from this. He posted the “BREAKING” tweet a bunch of times. His also has less than half the number of followers compared to the number he is following. I want this to be true but I’d wait for an official source.
Per the Arizona Constitution, calling a special session requires a 2/3 majority vote in both houses of the legislature. The state Constitution is the final authority in the matter. The U.S Constitution gives the legislatures the power to select electors, but they still have to follow the rules set out in the state Constitution.
“(2) Upon the presentation to the governor of a petition bearing the signatures of not less than two-thirds of the members of each house, requesting a special session of the
legislature and designating the date of convening, the governor shall promptly call a special session to assemble on the date specified. At a special session so called the
subjects which may be considered by the legislature shall not be limited.”
Ducey can call one, but it’s pretty clear that he won’t.
I’m suspicious of this ....
