In reply to the discussion: Police: Richmond riots instigated by white supremacists disguised as Black Lives Matter [View all]Eliot Rosewater
(31,097 posts)13. I get that it pisses people off here.
The Constitutions text requires that a group of electors, commonly called the Electoral College, chooses the next president. If a majority of electors fails to agree on a winner, Congress picks the winner in continent elections held within Congress under the terms of the 12th Amendment.

According to this source, the election cant be postponed but THIS can happen, something Thom Harmann warned about...If it goes to the 12th then EACH STATE has ONE VOTE, guess what that means!
So I WAS WRONG about postponing, I had read an article by Frum about how he could do that, but lets assume he cant, but THIS can happen and while traitor himself has no clue about any of this stuff, barr (traitor #2) will know about this stuff.
The reason I say these things is the same reason I YELLED AT PEOPLE in 2016 anywhere I could NOT to BASH Hillary so this wouldnt happen, but that didnt work either.
AS I have been saying everywhere including social media, EVERYBODY go home and STAY there until Nov 3, do NOT give the traitors a reason for states to not be able to certify their election results so the 12th doesnt come into play. If we have any election or constitutional experts here they will confirm the nightmare this could be if enough states allege they cant certify their results due to protests or civil unrest.

I guess that remains to be seen, but wouldnt it be prudent to stop the protests until it is over?

In a way, I kind of agree w/ you, being that it's possible that the protests could be magnified...

Odds that Trump sends in federal agents to "quell" the violence in Richmond VA?
