“One of the heads of the beast appeared to be fatally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world was astonished and followed the beast.” Rev 13:3
Just sayin.
At this hour, the petition on change.org for the Electoral College to hand the presidency to Hillary has surpassed 3,500,000 signatures. Never mind that its author is foolishly appealing to the “but but but she won the popular vote! No fair!” line of reasoning, which is pure stupidity. Four previous presidents were elected despite losing the popular vote, most recently in 2000. It’s a non-issue.
But boy, that’s a lot of signatures, and the movement hasn’t really started yet.
Those riots?…those aren’t going away. I bet you never thought #LoveTrumpsHate involved so much arson, destruction of property, and beatings. Whether or not they are being paid, think about the mindset of these people. How twisted up in your own leftist fantasy land must you be, to think that “protests” can or should overturn the legal democratic process?
Or are they on to something? It feels oddly familiar… where have I seen this before?
Oh that’s right…BREXIT! The Remain contingent threw a fit, and immediately called for a do-over. This despite the fact that the referendum document itself, sent to every home in the UK, plainly stated:
“This is your decision. The government will implement what you decide.” HERE
But never mind that, the Remains are now pursuing a legal challenge to unbind the vote and turn it into a mere suggestion to parliament, AND THEY ARE WINNING. This will be seen as an example to be followed.
Trump stands at 290 votes, with NH and MI still being counted. If those go to Hillary, they need to find a way to steal 21 more votes. You do realize there were already electors, before the election took place, who stated, for the record, that they would never, ever vote for Trump if he won. Yeah, go google that. Now, for every one of them who dared to speak out, how many, many more of them must there be who kept quiet? Somebody is going to figure out it is indeed possible to rig the this. It is being worked on right now, without any question. To understand why, you need to understand why the Electoral College exists.
The Electoral College was created for two reasons, and unfortunately one of them does come into play here.
The first reason is that direct democracy at a national level is mob rule, and this concerned the Founding Fathers. They didn’t even want direct democracy at the state level when it came to federal authority – senators were not elected by the people until the last century. For a great example of how things can go ‘wrong’ with direct democracy at the national level, refer back to the Brexit referendum. The Remains were so confident they would win, they stupidly put it on the ballot.Thanks, guys.
The second and more important reason the Electoral College exists is in the event a person with a lack of character – unfit for the office – should win the vote.
See where this is going?
If you think that Hillary’s lack of character is far worse than Trump’s, well I have news for you. It doesn’t matter that you’re right. These people think Trump is the most vile human being ever. Go look at youtube for 15 minutes. Not only that, but didn’t you notice that the entire GOP establishment was against Trump? There are dozens and dozens of RINO electors just begging for the right combination of bribes and promises to flip their vote. The best part is, they’ll get to bathe their treachery in the soothing warmth of “following their conscience.”
There are no federal laws prohibiting an elector from changing his pledged vote. Those who do so are called Faithless Electors, and it has happened several times in the past, although it has never changed the outcome of the presidency. Several states do have laws against this, but most of them are fairly weak. Some states invalidate the flipped vote, some do not. You will need to do some research into this, and also how the electors are chosen in each state, in order to understand where the battlegrounds may be. Start HERE.
I would have immediately suspected PA as a target, having some of the most corrupt state politics in the nation. But the electors in PA are actually chosen not by the winning party, but by the winning candidate. So they will need to look for another large state, or else they could pursue flipping just one or two electors in a large number of states. Would it really be that hard?
The electors meet on 19 December. The ballots are sent to D.C., where a joint session of congress convenes 6 January 2017, when the ballots will be opened, counted, and the name of the new president announced by the President of the Senate, Joe Biden.
Do I really think this will come to pass? No, I don’t. I think it far more likely that the groundwork will be done, the necessary Faithless Electors will be secured for Hillary, and then they will take it to Trump. In a stunning execution of blackmail par excellence, they will secure his pledge to, more or less, maintain the status quote in return for them letting him keep the presidency while avoiding a challenge.
Don’t rock the boat.
Build the wall, but amnesty for all.
Don’t repeal obamacare, parts of it are just fine.
Don’t prosecute Crooked Hillary, we need unity not spite.
Folks, it’s already happening HERE.
