And yet Republicans doing this was a criminal act?
Wasn’t there a change to the law where the certification is ‘automatic’? I thought Dems changed the law in the wake of J6.
No, Republicans thinking about doing this was a criminal act.
It actually did not happen.
Democrats actually doing it is cool.
Because they say so.
The anti-MAGA's are clever enough to avoid Harris "decertifying" any 2024 election. Such action by the VP at least in one scenario will not be necessary.
If they hold solid numbers within the bodies of both the House and Senate, they alone have the authority to reject state certifications. All they need is a trumped-up charge (no pun intended) of something inflammatory like Colorado's charges of insurrection, or plausible evidence of voting "irregularities", if even that.
That is how close we are, particularly facing a political movement unafraid to steal a national election.
