Massie: “Congress [could] toss out electoral votes from Maine, Colorado and any other states where Trump is ultimately denied ballot access.”
Love it! Ok, Dems, your move. What say you now?
Finally, they want to play with fire? Let’s give them what they want! Good and hard!
For reference, the 119th US Congress will meet from January 3, 2025, to January 3, 2027. Electoral votes will be formally counted January 6, 2025 before a joint session of Congress.
So what I glean from this is the Dems will pull out every stop possible to cheat in the Congressional election of the HOR to avoid the House tossing electors from states keeping Trump off the ballot.
Democrats had a majority of House Reps then, but I don 't think they had majority control of a majority of state delegations then. Which how House voting to break electoral college non-decisions is done under the 12th. IIRC GOP had a potential couple vote lead available, presuming no anti-Trump GOP defections affected the pre-voting within state delegations. But how much of the potential votes in a House overseen election squabble are done under those less familiar state voting rules and whether some are done under the more familiar individual rep voting rules I don't recall for certain. In spite of what Massie now asserts and my agreeing that Dems had more Reps, my recollection from Jan '21 was that purported experts were saying that IF Trump could somehow maneuver to send the election to Congress: for the House to vote on President and for the Senate to vote for VP, that President. Trump + VP Harris was a possible outcome. Just how to maneuver to send the decision to Congress was the hard part, requiring either GOP members to make some challenges—at least some were willing to do that—but which potential votes the J6 protest were used to quash, or for Pence to act as a Trump card rather than a Biden card.
First off it will be a miracle if the the republicans survive to JAN 2025 with the enhanced vote fraud machine. Secondly even if they do then won’t do a thing to stop it. Including rejecting electors. Too many Rino infiltrators.
good luck with that.
Law was changed in 2022.
The number of members required to make an objection was raised from 1 in each Chamber to one-fifth of each Chamber.
A state’s certificate of vote can be rejected only if both Houses of Congress vote to accept the objection via a simple majority.
What is this insane Twilight Zone world we live in where we have one party accusing a candidate of interfering in an election while THEY interfere in an election??
And let’s not forget the Russia collusion HOAX which of course they want to forget.
They all KNEW it was a lie, the FBI said the dossier was BS, but they went ahead with the fake investigation ANYWAY in an attempt to scam the public and remove their right to a fair election. Not ONE person has been brought to justice yet for that, especially the vile Hillary
Look for another Fedsurrection when it comes down to brass tacks certification.
If removing DJT from the ballot and somehow preventing write-ins does not work, there is only one thing left to the vile Dems to keep DJT from the Office of The President ...
If the GOP had any interest in dealing with the nonsense in Colorado and Maine, they would have had every Democratic House member in these two states stripped of their committee assignments immediately.
If these state governments want to meddle in national politics, then make them pay the price for their folly.
Isn’t this what the “ insurrection” was trying to say?
That vote fraud should not have been state-certified
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
Congress is Deep State’s.
They should pass a resolution. Give them fair warning that if the Democrats try to pull what they pulled with Abraham Lincoln (10 Democrat states refused to put Lincoln on the ballot), none of their electors will be seated.
““Maine, Colorado, and other states that might try to bureaucratically deny ballot access to any Republican nominee should remember the U.S. House of Representatives is the ultimate arbiter of whether to certify electors from those states,” Massie posted”
This could provide an easy way out for the Supremes to just let Congress sort it all out.
I foresee the opposite happening. If Trump wins the Electoral vote, and the Dems win the House, I see the Trump Electors being challenged on the grounds of Trump being ineligible to take office because he’s a 14th Amendment insurrectionist!!
Massie is right about this. Massie stands on his principles, even when it hurts his preferred candidate or interest.
Finally, a Republican with balls
“the House of Representatives has the final say over whether electors from those states are certified on Jan. 6, 2025. “
BOOM!
lol — forcing a House vote would have so many Rats squirming
Problem is, I don’t think they have the votes. We barely control the House, and there are too many rinos.
