President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

It was my understanding that each house would vote separately, and that both had to reject electors for that to be done rather than a unified vote.

 

That’s correct
They need one senator and one congressman to object
And the house members would vote as a state, which gives the advantage to the Republicans
For example, Michigan has six Democratic congressmen and 10 Republicans
Michigan would cast one vote for the Republicans

 

No. House votes by state only if election is thrown into it by failure of all candidates to win Electoral College. In this case, it'd be one member, one vote.

 

OK Thanks

 

It all goes to show there was a lot of heavy drinking going on when the Constitution was created. (This is a fact. There's a surviving bar tab for the delegates and it's a doozy).

 

My bad they are considered separately. They count together but they have to adjourn to consider objections. Still, Rick is right. Both have to reject it. The House will never allow it. And there are specific circumstances that allow for the rejection of an electoral vote and the GOP's current nonsense won't legally fly.

 

Snowflake hillbillies who won't wear masks think they can manage a civil war. LOL

 

But Biden underperformed in Miami-Dade!!!!

 

I often war game it out in my head. Not so much the battles, because it would be insurgent attacks all over the place. Instead, I think about what would happen after the shooting stopped (not that it really would, there'd always be car bombs or mass shootings). How would the Red States survive? Who would be their trading partners? Would states split up, say with Miami going with the Blue States while the panhandle goes to the Red States? Given the interconnectedness of the economy, would any industry survive? You're a manufacturer in a Red State, but your stuff is largely made in a factory in China and arrives at a port on the West Coast ... how are you staying in business?

The idiots fantasizing about secession right now (Hi Rush Limbaugh!) don't care about what comes after the split.

 

The Republican Party isn't interested in secession. Its goal is authoritarian one-party rule and the franchise limited to whites, and maybe just white men.
