    Electors are certified by usually the executive branch of the states, not legislative. (But there’s slight differences state to state).

    Either way, all states have certified already and Biden has 306 electors.

    It's about where US is . There's actually a chance to force a med4all vote on the house floor and folk more bothered about trump and his conspiracy theories .

    Yes, ‘usually’ but I would argue that these aren’t usual circumstances.

    The legislatures delegate authority to the executive branch to certify the electoral college votes but, as I understand it, they have the power to take back that authority right up to the last minute and would be expected to do so under their Constitution duties if they believed that the integrity of the results was materially affected by systemic fraud (or summat like that).

    I understand that the legislatures have the power to de-certify the results. Do you disagree?

    Who is that guy? I'd be interested to see his evidence. My technological knowledge is very average, but it's good enough that my ears ***** up whenever I think I detect somebody selling lies to people who know less than them. That video has ringing alarm bells all over it.

    Actually, I’m an avid reader and considerably more qualified then yourself, assuming you are only qualified to Masters level.

    Then I suggest you use that ability to think critically about this situation and stop repeating things that are obvious nonsense.

    Your initial opinion that’s clouding your view is based off “something happened” when you went to bed on election night. What happened on election night is exactly what people that followed the voting patterns knew would happen. Some states had red mirages, some had blue mirages. It’s all about how the states counted the votes. In some states they counted the early votes first, in others they counted them last (because the Republican legislatures forced them to do so. That’s literally the reason it went on past election night. They were setting up for this coup a long time.) The ‘jumps’ you see are counties releasing their votes, which is why they came in batches rather than steady increases.

    Your initial understanding is flawed and you’re using confirmation bias to support your view with any and all nonsense conspiracy theories online.

    I have a theory for why, which is that you didn’t actually cash out your bet (which will now have been settled I assume), so you’re desperate for Trump to overturn the result so you can complain to your bookie.

    You expect us to believe that someone ‘qualified’ beyond GCSE swallows the garbage from Brietbart et-al?

    OK. o_O

    Like I said last night, I haven’t got any interest in being drawn into pointless arguments that just go round in circles. I’ll have this discussion with you next Wednesday when the outcome of the election is known. Even with your liberal myopia I’m sure you will have to accept defeat when Trump is confirmed and you’ve stopped crying about it.

    The bit about you submitting to ministers. I’m not too sure in what ways you submit to them but I can probably hazard a guess.

    Some cold hard truths from a republican representative . Last time I checked trump had raised in excess of 250 million dollars off the back of #stopthesteal . Probably more now though I've stopped checking as this whole story is a non runner . For levels of stupidity it's right up there with russiagate though it has helped new right wing media such as newsmax / oan gain a lot of viewers and obviously money from it .

    Nobody in this thread has ever said that to be fair.
