There may be enough ballots adjudicated illegally in this year’s election to move Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan to the Trump column. Enough states for Trump to win the election.
The process of curing and adjudicating ballots during an election takes some time. Individuals mailing in ballots with issues must be contacted and certain steps must take place.
The deadline for receipt of absentee ballots in Georgia, per Georgia election law, is “no later than close of the polls on Election Day … Ballots received after the polls close cannot be counted,” this per the Georgia Secretary of State Election Division’s Absentee Voting A Guide for Registered Voters.
On Nov. 4, 2020, 2 p.m. and ending Nov. 6, 2020, 5 p.m. EST,” according to their PR, the Georgia Democratic Party began the deployment of trained teams of volunteer activist operatives – “Ballot Rescue Teams” – to do phone banking and also to travel Georgia’s counties, knocking on people’s front doors – only Democrats’ front doors, that is – and cheerfully offering to help “cure” or fix absentee and mail-in ballots which, allegedly, had problems and were, allegedly, not being counted by county registrars.
They were doing ballot curing.
Georgia election law only allows ballot curing if the voter gets a call or contact from a GA election official. The law doesn’t allow a Hillary Clinton operative to replace the election official’s position. Georgia election law does not allow ELECTRONIC curing of the ballot either, which is what the Democrat Ballot Curing Program did: they stated that the voter could email or text their ballot changes.
Thousands of ballots in Georgia were likely adjudicated electronically without underlying support to properly cure the ballot:
There are over 1.9 million early ballots, absentee ballots. 28,000 of them were duplicated. Over 200,000 of them were digitally adjudicated, without being able to
look at one ballot -- not one that was digitally adjudicated.”
Thousands of ballots reported in Wisconsin's Dane County alone where ballots were submitted in pristine condition – how many of these required to be cured and how many were electronically adjudicated illegally?
President Trump Is On Target In Wisconsin – Ballots Identified in pristine condition were similar to fraudulent ballots in Georgia and Michigan.
In Michigan, we also know of ballots coming in pristine condition. How many of these were digitally adjudicated?
Truckloads of ballots received in sequential order came out of New York,reported a Michigan poll worker.
Democrats do not want Americans to uncover their illegal ballots. Looking into the adjudicated ballots will probably uncover massive fraud.
The Michigan Attorney General is hiding the forensic audit of the Dominion voting machines in Antrim County.
Recall, on November 5th, two days after the presidential election, an election clerk in Antrim County Michigan discovered that the total votes counted by election software DID NOT MATCH the printed tabulator tapes.
The Dominion voting machines in Antrim County flipped 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden.
President Trump was way head of Joe Biden in Michigan on election night when all of a sudden Detroit stopped counting ballots.
A huge spike of Biden votes was dumped at 6 a.m. after Election Day in Michigan with the help of Dominion.
Last week a judge in Antrim county ordered a forensic audit of 22 Dominion Voting Systems machines in the state of Michigan.
Patrick Colbeck, an election challenger in Wayne County appeared on Fox Business Thursday night to discuss the audit of the Dominion machines.
Colbeck told Lou Dobbs that a judge ruled in favor of cutesy but crooked and diabolically-demonic spiteful-twit Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to prohibit the disclosure of the forensic results.
The Detroit News reported on the fight for the forensic results:
A Northern Michigan judge granted Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson permission to intervene in a case questioning results in Antrim County and the security of tabulators used there on Nov. 3.
The Secretary of State’s office is concerned particularly with forensic imaging performed on Antrim County’s 22 Dominion tabulators earlier this week by a Village of Central Lake resident and Allied Security Operations Group, said Assistant Attorney General Heather Meingast.
“We’d like to know more about what was obtained, what the intent is for the use of the images obtained,” Meingast said, noting the disclosure of some elements of the tabulators could compromise their security in future elections.
President Donald Trump’s legal team has filed an emergency petition in the Supreme Court of Georgia.
The petition comes just hours after the Supreme Court denied Texas’ bid to challenge voting procedures in four states and investigate voter fraud.
The petition seeks a Writ of Certiorari to review the court order of Justice Constance C. Russell earlier this month, who the Trump campaign contends was not qualified to preside over the election contest or enter orders in the case.
The campaign is seeking to decertify the results of the election in Georgia, which has been the subject of extreme controversy due to the extreme irregularities with the votes.
The 248-page petition can be read.
President Trump has filed a massive lawsuit in Fulton County, some of the highlights include 2,560 felons who voted, 66,247 underage voters, and 2,423 votes from people who were not registered.
The lawsuit additionally lists 1,043 individuals registered at PO boxes, 4,926 individuals who voted in Georgia after registering in another state, 395 individuals who voted in two states, 15,700 votes from people who moved out of state before the election, 40,279 votes of people who moved without re-registering in their new county and 30,000 – 40,000 absentee ballots lacking proper signature matching and verification.
The legal team included numerous affidavits and outlined over 30 violations of Georgia laws and codes.
Currently, Biden leads the state with 2,473,633 votes to Trump’s 2,461,854. The lawsuit has highlighted nearly 200,000 illegal votes, more than enough to change the results.
“Georgia officials who have fecklessly asserted that the general election was an ‘amazing success’ ‘with no credible evidence of irregularity’ are undermining public confidence in the integrity of our elections,” State Republican Chairman David Shafer said when announcing the lawsuit.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has taken on a case by President Trump’s legal team, seeking to have hundreds of thousands of ballots in Democratic Dane and Milwaukee Counties thrown out, even after a circuit court judge dismissed the case Friday.
The latest suit is an attempt by the Trump campaign to stop the Electoral College vote Monday, an effort that seemed like another fruitless attempt when it was dismissed by the circuit court judge earlier in the day and after a string of cases that have been thrown out in lower and high courts throughout the country.
Oral arguments are set to begin Saturday, in an unusually quick turnaround as the state’s high court races against the clock.
Reserve Judge Stephen Simanek ruled against the argument Trump’s legal team made earlier in the day, alleging election officials in the two Democrat-led counties failed to follow state laws regarding absentee ballots.
“The bottom line here is that the court should do everything to ensure that the will of the voters prevail,” Simanek said during Friday’s hearing.
Wisconsin certified its results Nov. 30, showing that Trump lost the swing state to President-elect Joe Biden by 20,600 votes.
The Trump campaign quickly appealed the ruling and asked for a decision by Jan. 6, 2021, which they claim is the “real deadline” as it is when Congress approves the Electoral College’s votes – though the almost immediate oral arguments set to begin Saturday, shows that the state's Supreme Court may disagree with that line of thought and attempt to have a decision sooner.
The Trump campaign is hoping to garner support from Congressional Republicans and challenge the election results come Jan. 6.
Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., has already said he intends to challenge the results, though unless he is able to get a Republican Senator to join in with him, the challenge will be purely symbolic, reported Politico.
Even if one Republican representative and senator join in the objection, it is unlikely Congress would overturn the results, which is expected to give Biden 306 votes in the Electoral College to Trump's 232 votes.
Trump’s legal team has also requested that the state’s electorate cast their vote in favor of Trump, not Biden, despite no court ruling having found any ballots illegal or fraudulent.
John Devaney, a Biden attorney, argued that no evidence has been presented that shows fraud in the Wisconsin election and that the ballots cast were done so “in full compliance of the laws that were in effect at the time of the election."
He also pointed out that Trump’s legal team did not raise any objections to the counties’ election laws prior to losing on Election Day, a lame excuse similar to cops not being on the exact spot of criminal activity committed within a mere 60 seconds of the crime being phoned in to 911.
Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney, said Friday on Newsmax TV’s “Stinchfield” that the president’s legal team will continue filing lawsuits even after the Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit by Texas, which was backed by 17 other states and 126 House Republicans, to overturn the election results in four swing states.
Giuliani said, “The case wasn’t rejected on the merits, the case was rejected on standing. So the answer to that is to bring the case now to the district court by the president, by some of the electors, alleging some of the same facts where there would be standing and therefore get a hearing.”
Host Grant Stinchfield said, “Mr. Mayor, I know you talked to the president just after this ruling came down. What’s his reaction, and how’s he doing through all this.”
Giuliani said, “The president’s reaction is to look at other options. I mean, we always knew that this was an option, that we would have to convert this into — in fact, originally, we thought about this as possibly four or five separate cases.
So that is the option we are going to have to go to. There’s nothing that prevents us from filing these cases immediately in the district court in which the president, of course, would have standing, some of the electors would have standing in that their constitutional rights have been violated.”
He added, “We’re not finished. Believe me.”
The Paxton Texas suit, later joined by other states, against Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia, was a nice try, but it was always a long shot. Of course SCOTUS would be reluctant to grab so much power by ordering state legislatures to seat the right electors. Why? Because the power is already in the hands of the legislatures to do this.
"If any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination of any controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such State, by judicial or other methods or procedures, and such determination shall have been made at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, such determination made pursuant to such law so existing on said day, and made at least six days prior to said time of meeting of the electors, shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution, and as hereinafter regulated, so far as the ascertainment of the electors appointed by such State is concerned."
That provision means that states may appoint electors after a controversy ("controversy or contest").
What happens when fraud and illegalities are so egregious that they help one candidate exclusively and harm only one candidate in such a way that it is unclear which electors shall be appointed?
That definitely qualifies to become a "controversy or contest." The provision opens the door to each state legislature having the right to determine how the state can appoint electors ("appointment of electors" and "ascertainment of electors"). (This is already clear in the Twelfth Amendment, but here this provision gives more clarity after a controversy.) Bottom line: The electors for Biden, the "fake winner," can be set aside if that is what each individual state law allows.
What does each State law say? It's up to them to tell us, because researching each state's law is too burdensome for average citizens. But it is safe to assume that the states have "plenary power" to appoint the electors of their choosing, particularly when the Constitution actually says the state legislatures determine things. The Electors Clause — Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution — provides that "[e]ach state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress." (Hat tip.)
However, what about the "six days" in the election law provision? The next federal law, in a section titled "failure to make a choice before prescribed day," says:
"Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct."
The states can determine when they appoint the electors "on a subsequent day" (not the next day). The phrase "In such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct" gives the states much leeway to select the right electors, which agrees with the Electors Clause, cited above. And if the controversy in selecting electors, caused by fraud and illegalities, persists past Dec. 14, then the states can ignore the date and follow their need to further investigate fraud and illegalities.
The whole thing can work out like this, apart from the Texas lawsuit before SCOTUS.
The undisputed states vote electorally on Dec. 14, and neither Biden nor Trump reaches 270, so neither one is the winner. The five GOP state legislatures (Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania) of the six disputed states (minus Nevada) say they need to postpone their electoral votes because they are investigating fraud and illegalities.
The legislatures perform due diligence (they have been holding hearings to collect the evidence) and conclude that fraud and illegalities unilaterally hurt Trump and helped only Biden.
Assuming that the Democrat Legislature in Nevada says everything was legitimate, each disputed GOP state may reach this conclusion on any day after Dec. 14 — say, on Dec. 27 or even Jan. 15. Then they appoint electors who vote for the rightful winner: Trump (provided the GOP-selected electors do not suffer from TDS). These votes are added in to the votes cast on Dec. 14. Trump goes past 270 electoral votes. He wins!
However, what happens if the disputed states cannot select the electors, and neither Trump or Biden reaches 270? Then it goes to the House of Representatives, and each state has one vote, and this one vote is determined by the political makeup of the state legislatures. The GOP controls 29 state legislatures, and the Democrats have 19 (two are split). Trump wins again.
Therefore, we don't need SCOTUS to win, and we never needed it.
So what happen next, and what can regular folks do now?
First, we can keep up the pressure on the legislators of those five GOP states to select electors who will vote for the rightful winner, who is obviously Trump. Some of the members in these legislatures may suffer from TDS, so the message must be sent that they have to set aside their irrational opposition and do the right thing.
Second, Sidney Powell's legal team can continue with their lawsuits, so they can expose and uproot Dominion Voting Systems.
Now the goal will not be to overturn elections, but to get rid of the flawed, rigged system. This goal is much more realistic and easier to accomplish. The court cases will take a long time. But that's okay, because they keep in the public view the "fake president" and 2024, if Biden (unjustly) prevails.
Third, we must counter the left-wing pressure, including their threats of violence, that will be thrust on these little known state politicians. Without threats of violence on our side, we can still stand firm to support and defend them.
The battle is not over. It was always going to boil down to the legislatures without SCOTUS. If we keep up the fight, we shall win with knowledge and the law on our side.

We Trumpites are definitely on to something. Intriguing that the High Court did not immediately throw out the Class-Action Texas Paxton Elections-Fraud Case, understandable in view of at least 17 Attorneys General and 106 House Represenatives siding in along with both they plus many pro-and-con other high officials and influential organizations and groups submitting tons of amicus briefs to SCOTUS, with neither side backing off.
And if they all keep it up and do not give up, there will be no etched-in-stone Certifications resulting in electors apportioned by would-have-been Deadline Date Monday December 14th.
Fascinating to see and hear the violent reactions of livid lying and reviling CNN, FOX, MSNBC, other demonic media along with the PA AG, MI AG, etc. with the result of relentless and increasingly-virulent gobs of spoken-and-written filth thrown at them by fight-back Spirit-of-Christ-possessed-and-empowered Trumpites.
Sidney Powwow, Rudy of anti-mob RICO-fame Guiliani, beloved Trump, Sekulow, Revs Bloomquist and Jeffress, etc are indeed mounting up with wings like eagles!

Satanic news networks were trying to convince us that there was absolutely no way that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of President Trump and his allies in Texas v. Pennsylvania, but what if they are wrong?
The petition was heard by SCOTUS, and the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin filed their responses by three p.m. Thursday.
The High Court understood the urgency of this matter, and were determined to move things along very quickly. We found out what they were thinking quite soon.
At least eighteen other states joined with Texas in arguing that certification results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin cannot be allowed to stand.
As more experts and analysts honestly and calmly examine facts, the more they concluded that Paxton's legal claims had some merit.
Most everyone agrees that non-authorized officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin changed election rules without consulting their legislatures.
But the Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution gives State legislatures the capacity to determine how electors will be selected.
The ad-hoc rule alterations, abrogations, and violations that pro-Biden officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin imposed were unconstitutional, and they had corruptive and distuptive material affect on Election outcome in each of those States.
Practically everyone agrees that voters and ballots were treated quite differently in left-leaning portions of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin than they were in right-learning portions of those States.
Those were textbook violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Supreme Court would have to be completely blind to not see that.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the Court to declare that all electoral votes from those four states should not be designated as certified.
So SCOTUS agreed to hear a massive case, filed Monday night December 7th, initiated by the Honorable Paxton of Texas involving at least 17 Republican attorneys general in TX, LA, FL, AR, KY, AL, MS, SC, SD, etc. plus 106 House Republicans rightly claiming that the election outcomes in swing-states Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were in violation against duly-established-by-State-legislatures federally-standardized Election protocol and procedures . . . treasonously, deceptively, dishonestly, and illegally changed by non-anticipated-surprise-attack alteration-unauthorized secretaries of state, governors, partisan election supervisors and ballot counters, when it became obvious that Trump was getting majority amounts of valid ballots within those contested States on November 3rd, and plaintiffs asked SCOTUS to thus bypass State certifications and order State legislatures to appoint their own electors. Either that or 12th-Amendment-authorized Pence does a keep-or-discard elector-votes Contingent Election.
Invalid ballots of dead people, unsigned ballots, out-of-State-person ballots, ballots of felons and underaged, photocopied ballots, ballots filled in by others, Dominion-software switched-vote-ballot tallies, multiply-rescanned ballots, discarding valid ballots, back-dating ballots obviously do not and should not count as to totals for either Trump or Biden, nor down-ballot candidates, and no claim of "voter suppression" applies concerning those.
"American voters" did not vote for Biden. ONLY CERTAIN american voters voted for Biden. To state, with tricky lawyer talk, that "Americans voted for Biden" realistically and logically implies that ALL Americans voted for Biden, and anyone who says that is guilty of Fraudulent Misrepresentation and can be sued, even with a class-action suit.
One must not assume one is required to take the fraudulent baseless claim of "Americans voted for Biden" to -- with non-spoken/non-written automatic "read between the lines" presumption -- thus deny the obvious fact that many Americans did NOT vote for Biden . . . and THEY were "Americans" ALSO!
It is reminiscent of the Serpent asking Eve in the Garden, "DID GOD say that you must not eat of ANY tree in the Garden? Deceptively and dishonestly overbroad lying insinuation, indeed! Xplore holybible.tripod.com/nokamala
The same misleading wording applies to miscalling the virgin-conceiving/birthing mother Mary of the Son of MAN (Jesus) - in contrast to the Son of GOD's conception-Father (also Jesus) - "Mary, the Mother of GOD" -- wrongly implying realistically that supposedly-Divine/completely-sinless, "Savior"-confessing Mary conceived and birthed the TRINITY (of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), Whom she obviously did NOT.
The Texas SCOTUS case, which turncoat wimp TX Sen Cornhead and Sen Sassy did not support, nor the despicable PA AG kike and other anti-American AG traitors and the Hell-destined ilk conspiring under lying, cowardly, subversive, and accursed CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc., involves federal consistency of all States pertaining to federal presidential elections. Everyone has to be on the same page on the same date doing the same previously-legislatively-determined thing.
It is unconstitutional to let non-authorized officials of one State all of a sudden tell drivers to drive on the left side of the highways and go forward at red stoplights, while non-authorized officials of the next or neighboring State declare the exact opposite. Question was whether Texas had knowledgeable discretionary right to be the authoritative accusator.
Initial temporary non-responsive silence or inaction of objectors is not equivalent to them supposedly accepting as valid or approving last-minute-changed suddenly-committed illegalities of deceptive and dishonest illegal-balloting-shenanigan cheaters. Simply because cops do not show up for up to a minute after 911 is called does not mean they are silent or approving of criminal action being called about.
To purport that Texas has no legal standing to interfere with previously-established-by-State-legislature pre-federal-Election protocols (the Presidency is a federal-candidate not state-candidate election) and Election procedures of other States is like stating that a common citizen has no legal standing to make a Citizen's Arrest against someone or a group (other than himself, of course) who he sees is or was in the process of committing a life-endangering murder or rape felony. It matters not what concocted procedures and protocol the pre-meditated or non-premeditated (i.e. previously-planned or spur-of-the-moment) murderer or rapist is using or used while committing the criminal action. The lives of others are or were in immediate-emergency serious jeopardy.

In the suit, Paxton asked the High Court to “declare that any electoral college votes cast by such cheating-officials-designated presidential electors appointed in Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin are in violation agsinst the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and cannot be counted as stated.”
The Court did not do that, because that would have disenfranchised all of the legal-voter ballots in all those states.
Alternatively, the Court could have chosen to direct governors-called state legislatures in each of those four states to choose their own slates of Electors, but the Court did not do that either.
One remedy would have been new paper-ballot set-date elections in those four States. That could have been problematic as well, because non-expedited results of those elections might not be known before the electoral votes are supposed to be counted in Washington on January 6th.
If current election results are overturned by the Supreme Court and President Trump ultimately ends up winning, it will set off the biggest temper tantrum in all of U.S. history.
We have already seen widespread rioting, looting, arson and violence in our major cities all throughout 2020, and we have continued to see more lawless uncivil unrest, of the type prophesied in New-Testament Scripture.
If Trump ends up getting a second term after everything that has already transpired, we might experience an explosion of anger that could be off the charts, as insurrectionists freeze with frostbite encumbered within frigid winter snowstorms.
The potential for violence, not thwarted by nationalized Guard and Pentagon-directed military enforcing Marshal Law, weighs heavily on the minds of members of the Supreme Court as they consider the merits of Texas v. Pennsylvania.
Members of the Supreme Court are humans also. If they, among many adamant others, are responsible for Biden losing the election, there is a possibility that radicals will attempt to attack them, their families and their homes, even to the point of retaliatory weapons combat.
Hopefully, there will be at least five justices who will be courageous enough to do what is right for the country and the constitutionally-referred-to-Creator Jesus Christ no matter what the short-term consequences are.
As indecently-hairstyled-female-mopheads-imposing Sean Hannity recently explained, we have reached a critical moment in our history and the American people deserve law-obedient answers and solutions.
Despite the fact that the 2020 elections ended more than a month ago, the outcome still hangs in the balance.
No matter what happens, it is likely that divisions in this country are going to get deeper, eventually leading to the apocalytic Man-of-Lawlessness and Beast/False-Prophet global-antichrists scenarios alluded to in Second Thessalonians chapter 2 and Revelation chapters 13 through 20 in the Holy Bible.

Trump vows legal challenges are ‘not over’ as Electoral College set to certify presidential results.
Certification of Electoral Vote was Tabulation of the Electoral College on December 14th of 2020.
Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution says “Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."
The day of December 14 was dictated in 1887 by the Electoral Count Act.
The Electoral Count Act dictates that states choose electors no more than 41 days after the election. This is partly why the Supreme Court rushed to complete Bush v. Gore on Dec. 12, 2000. The decision halted the count of ballots in Florida, handing the presidency to George W. Bush.
GOP ELECTORS IN GEORGIA, PENNSYLVANIA HAVE CAST VOTES FOR TRUMP, HOPING FOR COURT VICTORIES.
The 1887 law establishes a “safe harbor” date so states conclude vote counts and establish electors early. That was the December 8th 2020 date.
States are given great latitude as to how they go about deciding electors.
Electors can choose for whom they want. There is no federal statute nor constitutional provision which governs this. Electors “pledged” to given candidates. But 32 states and Washington, DC mandate that electors agree to vote for the candidate who prevailed in their given state.
Five states penalize an elector who goes rogue and votes for someone other than the winner. Fourteen states do not allow “faithless” electors. A “faithless” elector is someone who casts a ballot for a candidate other than the winner.
There have been 165 faithless electors in U.S. history. There were seven faithless electors in the 2016 presidential race. Here is the list of other candidates receiving electoral college votes other than President Trump and Hillary Clinton: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), retired Gen. Colin Powell (three electoral votes) and Faith Spotted Eagle, a member of the Yankton Sioux Nation.
States begin to send in their slates of electoral ballots to the U.S. Capitol over the next few weeks.
The papers sent to Capitol Hill are “Certificates of the Vote,” signed by the electors of each state. They are mailed via registered mail (yes, the U.S. Mail) to the president of the Senate (the vice president of the United States), the Secretary of State, the Archivist of the United States and the federal district court with jurisdiction over where each set of electors convened.
It’s up to the 117th Congress, as dictated by the 12th Amendment to the Constitution.
Lawmakers certify the electoral results in a Joint Session of Congress. The House and Senate huddle in the House chamber together. We don’t quite know how this will look during a pandemic.
But Vice President Pence Mike would co-preside over the session in his capacity as president of the Senate alongside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Pence’s term doesn’t expire until January 20th.
The 12th Amendment gives the Vice President a little more power than the President in presiding over this session. The 12th Amendment mandates that “the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall be counted.”
The 12th Amendment also says “the person having the greatest number of votes for President shall be President.” But Congress must agree to all of this. And remember, Pence is the one running the show at this stage.
Do not underestimate the role of the Vice President in this process.
Hawaii wasn’t a determinative state in the 1960 presidential election between President John F. Kennedy and President Richard Nixon. Kennedy was going to win the White House, regardless of Hawaii.
Initial results from Hawaii showed that Nixon captured the Aloha State. But a recount shifted the win to Kennedy. Hawaii sent two slates of electoral votes to Washington: one for Nixon and one for Kennedy, both signed by the governor.
By the book, Hawaii’s electoral votes should have gone to Nixon. But when the Joint Session of Congress convened in January, 1961 Congress handed Hawaii’s then three electoral votes to Kennedy. Nixon, then Vice President, presided.
But what would have happened had Nixon intervened, potentially, as the GOP presidential nominee who lost to Kennedy?
We’ll never know.
The House and Senate go through each state’s slate of electoral ballots in alphabetical order. Congress is supposed to accept the version signed by the governor. But Congress really isn’t bound at this stage. It can do what it wants when it comes to certifying the electoral college results.
After the 2000 Florida election dispute, a cavalcade of Congressional Black Caucus members paraded through the well of the House chamber to contest the outcome during the Joint Session. Vice President Al Gore, then President of the Senate, and like Nixon, the vanquished Democratic nominee, presided.
“Mr. Vice President, I rise to object to the fraudulent 24 Florida electoral votes,” declared Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
“Is the objection in writing and signed by a member of the House and a senator?” inquired Gore.
Congressional rules require a House member and senator simultaneously challenge a state’s electoral slate. But Waters lacked a Senate sponsor.
“The objection is in writing!” snapped Waters. “And I don’t care!”
Gore, stood firm, despite having the most to benefit from Waters’ entreaty.
“The chair will advise that the rules do care,” Gore intoned, triggering applause throughout the House chamber.
Questions arose in January, 2005 about Ohio’s slate of electoral votes. In that instance, the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, and former Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., teamed up to challenge Ohio’s electoral votes. The House and Senate then met separately to consider Ohio’s slate. But after a short debate, Congress decided that President George W. Bush was victorious in Ohio.
Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., indicates he will likely challenge some electoral college results from various states. Brooks will need a sponsor from the Senate to launch a debate contesting a state’s electoral slate.
If there is a House and Senate member appealing a state’s slate of electors, the Joint Session of Congress is dissolved and the House and Senate meet separately for two hours to debate a contested state’s electoral vote. Each body then votes whether to accept or reject that state’s slate of electoral votes. Then the House and Senate reconvene in the Joint Session.
This could literally consume all day on January 6 and probably bleed into the wee hours of Jan. 7 before this is all resolved. Challenges to electoral slates are anticipated from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan. And, voting on each state’s slate will take longer due to the pandemic. So Jan. 6 and 7 could be LONG ones.
However, it is important to note that a state’s slate of electoral votes is only tossed if BOTH the House and Senate vote to do so. We doubt the House will reject any challenged electoral slates. But there will be a roll call vote, indicating how many House Republicans vote in favor of dismissing a given state’s electoral vote.
And, keep in mind, the Senate starts the new Congress at 51-48 in favor of the GOP. Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., will not be a senator at the beginning. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., will. How fast will Georgia certify the winners of the Georgia runoffs on Jan. 5? And could that impact how the Senate votes? What happens if it’s clear Democrats have won BOTH Georgia races and the Senate will be 50-50 – and we learn of such news in the middle of challenges to a state’s electoral slate?
We don’t know.
To take the presidency, 270 electoral votes are required. But what happens if a candidate falls short because a state’s electoral votes are in dispute?
Or, if there is an impasse when certifying the electoral college?
First, there’s no immediate game clock dictating that Congress has exhausted all options. But if Congress determines there’s a stalemate, the 12th Amendment directs the House to elect the President.
This is called a “Contingent Election.” The House has chosen two Presidents via contingent elections: Thomas Jefferson in 1801 and John Quincy Adams in 1825.
Each state casts one ballot as a House delegation during a contingent election. The House only considers the top three electoral college vote getters in a contingent election. Each state casts one ballot in a contingent election. And Republicans should control more state delegations in the House next year – even though Democrats are in the majority.

It looks like the Lord Jesus finally has Trump and Trumpites to have gotten cheating tyrannous Bidenites by the balls, who have come to the supposed end of all they could do: cheat enough with nearly-impossible-to-trace-and-prove balloting shenanigans, Bidenite-duressed forensics-forbidden judges presented with ignored "inadequate, baseless, non-verifiable, fraud-claiming, smoking-gun/circumstantial conjecture," and finally getting election-corruption-tainted-but-disregarded majority electors to vote Biden in as purported "prez-elect" Biden, presumed to assuredly become inaugurated January of 2021 with Kammie becoming a 1st-Tim-2:12-violating heartbeat away from the frail-Joey Presidency.
Even quasi-fundy clergy and high-level conservative RINOs have caved to the matriarchal Prez-elect proclamation.
Normally, they could now relax in self-justifying smugness and told-you-so confident complacency . . . except for those courageous and righteously contentious (or so-called "defiantly disruptive, insane, even insurrectively treasonous") who will not admit final defeat and thus concede.
Bidenites are furious, puzzled, but terrified by such noncooperative non-acquiescent persistence. Why should they be? Elijah's sacrificial bull at Mt Carmel has been drenched, and no possible fire can effect it whatsoever!? So what's the point? Substantial fraud "hasn't and can obviously never be proven" to courts!?
But never-quitting Trumptarts now have over 500 judges with less legalistic restrictions to present increasingly-overwhelming evidence to and sway the vote of, called "alternate electors" pardonable by Trump if they "illegally" independently, bravely, and justly choose opposites, under supervision of Pence, Senate President. By the 6th or 20th of January 2021. Oh.
"Aw, c'mon man. Show some respect to the lying extortionist, female-VP-selecting, veteran-perv, gaffing, mean old codger."
"Benaiah, anti-King-Trump balloting-shenanigan-Biden Adonijah is on his high horse, attempting a coup. Whack him. Instructions in First Kings chapter two."
Having monitored the first half of the Senate Election Fraud Hearing Wednesday morning the 16th on FOX, I now urge everyone to keep in mind that the main point is not adjustments that should be done for future elections, but partisan-free brave-and-honest forensics-allowed remedial court decisions that must be made concerning the PRESENT 2020 balloting-shenanigans-fraud-suspected Biden-vs-Trump Election.
The Son of Man will send His angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all 2020-balloting-shenanigans causes of sin and all Bidenite election-fraud-denying evildoers, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there they will weep and gnash their teeth.
Matthew 13:41-42
Then He will say to those 2020-Election-balloting-fraud deniers at His left hand, `Leave me, you cursed, into the Eternal Fire prepared for the Devil and his angels . . .
Matthew 25:41
