Xenocides posted:The mastermind behind the Texas lawsuit speaks out and complains that the Supreme Court abandoned him. I have to wonder if this little stunt is going to be a huge backfire for him. Trump isn't the type of guy who gives an A for effort. All he is going to see is what a massive failure the lawsuit is, so instead of a pardon he just gets national attention and increased scrutiny of his crimes.

It's possible they're the actual slate of electors the Republicans put up (well before election day), the ones who would have cast real electoral votes if the state had gone red But it's also possible they're just some jabronis who decided to call themselves electors.

Ok, so my State has 10 votes, Dems won and chose 10 people to go to the statehouse and officially send the votes in, got it. So now the Repubs are coming to the State House demanding to be let in because they are sore winners? That's an LOL

No because the U.S. has been doing business with China since at least the 1800s. They are an important ally.

generally the state GOP and Democrats have already picked their electors before the election. so yes its most likely these electors are ones who were picked had the GOP won... i still dont know why they're putting on this dog and pony show.

Electoral voting? In this state, at this time, at this Statehouse knowing FULL WELL Donald J. Trump actually won?? Yes! May we come in? ...no. Shanghaied posted:I like that people keep on asking about how the electoral college works, and I just imagine being one of the drafters of the Constitution, explaining for the 100th time, to a friend or family member, why this dumbass system is somehow better. I've just never paid attention to the EC system outside of who's getting the votes because when we aren't living in a hell dimension it doesn't matter after Nov 4.

@RealDonaldTrump: Today is the Darkest Day in USA History (BY far!) First, one of "The Best" Websites has many videos taken down, enraging "Millions". Then I am treated like a dog by the Faithless Electors who are incredibly Rude and have affectively "Spit in the Face" of the President. Many in the USA today are "Crying in the Lincoln Bedroom", but don't Worry - I'm Still Going to Win.

Can we stop giving the trump lawsuits that 1 win? That 1 win was basically them demanding to be allowed within 6 feet of vote counters instead of 12 which the judge agreed... that both Democrat/GOP watchers could get that close. That's it. That was their only "win"

Originally it was supposed to be a group of smart people who you would pick to gather as a group and debate and pick the President for your state (because people are dumb) but it never worked that way even in the very beginning.

WOW! Similar lawsuit of Trump v Wendy's Baconator is still "ongoing" but should come up with a "W" for "T(rump)". Thank you!

I mean, it's not hard. The electors vote at predetermined times and there's been no defections. I highly doubt Biden's gonna get less than 306.

Hence why almost all of the earliest Presidents were Southerners.
