[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg stop with the faithless electors thing. It’s not happening. Never has. People floated it when trump one too but they elected him. In Pennsylvania the person who wins the popular vote gets the electors. In other states, they’re not going to flip. You’re all ridiculous. [/quote]

I agree it's not going to happen because Republicans don't want Acting President Pelosi.  I do question if you understand what a faithless elector is though.  The article above has nothing to do with faithless electors.  A faithless elector is one that changes his/her vote from the candidate picked to a different person.  The article above is about conservative radio hosts discussing ignoring the vote of the people and appointing Republican electors.  These wouldn't be faithless electors, they'd be voting for Trump.  Meanwhile there would be another slate of electors appointed by the governor and signed off by him.  Federal law (Electoral Count Act) says that they should only count the votes signed by the governor.  If Republicans break the law and refuse to do this by attempting to count electors appointed by state legislatures, then the Democrats would end the joint session without a count.  At that point, the clock would run until noon on Jan 20th at which point Pelosi is President and things will be really grim for Trump.  We will have a President Biden, no doubt about it. [/quote]
