I really, really doubt the Republican state legislatures have the sheer balls to do it.

They will when the Supreme Court says this is all so fucked we are punting it to the people (aka the state legislatures) to decide. I think that this is the way it's going to go in the end. It's a way for the ills to be remedied and to give the Court cover.

It means the State Legislatures in PA are considering whether to say that the PA final result is fraudulent and that the state’s electoral votes will go to whomever the state legislature wishes. While this is good in the immediate, if this rubicon is crossed then Democrats may go full Order 66 and do the same against Trump or some future candidate. However, from a less doomer view, it means that PA democrats are getting encircled. SC from one side, legislature on the other. They stall, direct appointment.

In chess, this is known as a fork.

The democrats/big tech/ media themselves crossed the Rubicon when they staked everything on amateurish vote fraud. I would rather have this happen, elect trump, and worry about democrat revenge later instead of essentially guaranteeing the death of the GOP under massive media/social/financial pressure and voter apathy. We are never going to get another candidate as loved and widely supported as trump, if he goes down under such blatant corruption then the populist movement in the USA will go down with him.

What are the actual consequences to the people* who would choose direct appointment? I'm talking about actual people, not the party reputation virginity muh constitution or anything like that.

What happens to the career of a person who is supposed to give 12 Eurovision electoral votes to Biden but chooses Trump instead? Do they have enough incentive to commit...seppuku? Damnatio memoriae? Permaban from kiwifarms? What's the punishment? Would it be an acceptable loss for the actual person compared to handing out the country to the DNC traitors of the nation?


*And why the fuck is the electoral system so complicated, Christ you have supreme courts, state supreme courts, electors, judges that allow recounting only to fellow Republicans, governors, senators and probably a few thousand of their escorts and traps stagists and personal assistants

Its only complicated because people don't think of it in the right frame of mind. The United States is not a country.

No, seriously.

The United States is FIFTY countries who have all banded together.

Each State is an individual nation with its own Executive, Judiciary, and Legislative branch. The Federal government has all the same things, its job is to just regulate those fifty nations inside of it, and be a unified position for foreign diplomacy.

They better have theirs drop quick then, because after all the threats the left has given to any Republicans or anyone who's somewhat supported Trump, they deserve it if they don't fight back.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Fair enough, I just think that's semantics.

I'm pretty sure just bypassing the vote by direct elector appointment would obliterate faith in the elections forever, is my problem.

As if that isn’t already an issue in light of all this.

 

[Gehenna]

Those threats CONTINUE to be the biggest Own Goal in political history. It will come back to bite them any time a republican begins to get cold feet.

Thanks for the answers.

Assuming the same happens in every other Democrat state that can flip their electoral votes from red to blue...who wins?

Probably nothing. Worst case is they lose a re-election in the future because they pissed off their constituents in their congressional district.

Though those 70 million Trump votes tell me the opposite would probably happen. If they flake out on Trump, I could see some of them losing in the future.

Literally nobody. It’s a MAD scenario.

 

[Gehenna]

Literally nobody. It’s a MAD scenario.

Its a MAD scenario after the Democrats already did a nuclear launch of their own.

We have two separate MAD scenarios going on here, and one of them already lit off.

WE LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES!

Lol. This might be the scenario that causes states to secede.

 

[Meat Target]

Lol. This might be the scenario that causes states to secede.

It's illegal for states to unilaterally secede. But... could they agree to divorce from the Union a la Brexit, or be unilaterally expelled?

Neither, the U.S. Civil War pretty thoroughly put a kabash on that being possible to do non-violently.

They're setting up their narrative already to tell everyone that Biden won so if it gets overturned people can call Trump a dictator and more importantly what they want, rioting. So it puts him in a catch 22, overturn the VICTORY and cause rioting so cities burn and probable Americans die or concede and let them get away with it. Are you willing to let innocents die just to take us down President Trump? is basically their question.

They'll burn down blue cities. I see no negatives here.

Lolsuit has been filed in Michigan.

Multiple affidavits signed by multiple election workers alleging illegal behavior including backdating ballots and not checking signatures, directly verbally ordered by their superiors.

Multiple affidavits signed by multiple authorized Republican observers alleging they were barred from observing the vote count when access to authorized observers cannot be barred by law.

There are dozens of affidavits from dozens of individuals in Michigan and PA. I dont expect Georgia or WI to be any different.

These are not joke lolsuits. That many affidavits with claims that can be verified (or refuted) by, in the case of signature verification, simple examination of the ballots, this is serious lol business.

If it is serious, its not a lolsuit.

It's not really a lolsuit if you got multiple signed affidavits that back up a shitton of illegal behavior.

The survivors of Blue city destruction will spill out into the suburbs and countryside, having learned jackshit.

There was even some Vox journoblogger last week who said Michael Bloomberg (being something like the 10th richest man on the planet) should pay liberals to go live in and colonize Red states.
