    if Trump messes with the ballots, the current House can choose to NOT certify the election.

    no election counts unless both current houses of Congress agree to certify them

    the house members are decided by the popular vote, I think Biden will win the popular vote, the question is will that be enough

    She didn't win, either. Kerry was her debate coach as I recall.

    On election night in 2012, Obama trailed Mitwit by 30K votes at the moment Obama was projected to win his re-election bid. By the time the votes were tallied, Obama had five million more votes than Mitwit. In 2016, when the Orange Fraud accepted Clinton’s concession, he was leading the popular vote count by nearly one million votes. When all the votes were counted, he lost the popular vote by nearly three million. This well-documented phenomenon is called the blue shift and opens the door to a troubling scenario on election night this year.

    So what happens when Putin's biggest admirer declares victory on election night and then sends out the army of attorneys he has assembled to question the votes not yet counted?

    Nope. What we have pointed out is Russia carried out a "sweeping and systematic" (according to Mueller) plan to get him elected. The effect of that plan on the election is virtually impossible to quantify.

    Why do you blame the castle keepers for all the barbarians at the gate?

    Maybe he could pick up the retainers for some of Biden's and the Democrat's 600 plus lawyers already lined up.....

    One must meet fire with fire. Something Dems should have started doing long ago.

    Too late. The country is already in chaos thanks to government and political partisanship.

    The reason they haven't is that they are usually the fire starter.

    Probably not, since he and Kamalalala are both so low-profile voters may not even know they're running.
    They ARE running, yes?

    The battleground states where EC votes are crucial are NOT won by sitting in a basement. Trump's got that well in mind with multiple stops in a campaign day, while Joe's day remains "lidded."

    We are the nation of rebels, or did you forget that? Say hello to Grandpa Grope down there in his basement, running one HELL of a wide-ranging campaign.

    Highly improbable. Actually, next to impossible. You see, even though the House may be (D), in the event the Presidential election goes there, they don't vote as individuals. Rather, each State gets one vote. It's probable that when tallying things that way, the (R)s will have the win. And not even you can possibly want to see Pelosi in the Oval. Not only is she a flat out drunk, she's one of the most vile humans to ever walk the planet.

    I know of a militia that has been ready to go to war since 1966 and this is due to Johnson's not throwing out the ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government). My uncle, who insists on being addressed as Colonel ever since runs it by the way. (He's the one who owns the restored T95 Heavy Truck)

    the President of the Senate is the VP of the United States...Mike Pence...not the senior dem...not sure where you are getting that

    Since the mid-20th century, on January 6 at 1:00 pm before a Joint Session of Congress, the Vice President opens the votes from each state in alphabetical order. He passes the votes to four tellers—two from the House and two from the Senate—who announce the results. House tellers include one Representative from each party and are appointed by the Speaker. At the end of the count, the Vice President then declares the name of the next President and with the ratification of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution (and starting with the 75th Congress in 1937), the electoral votes are counted before the newly sworn-in Congress, elected the previous November.

    So the Dems in the House can stay at home and not come to the Joint Session, but the VP can still open it and the GOP can come and get it done....sorry

    Ultimately, he'll try to encourage his fans to start a civil war to overthrow US democracy and to build a Trump kingdom. That's what his friend Pootin wants too. :(

    ok, but what does that have to do with your comments? absolutely nothing The certification process takes place well before then...even. before the new congress is put in.
