Showing Original Post only (View all)I was wrong, traitor CANT postpone election ... [View all]
What can happen and Thom Hartmann warned of this months ago, is the 12th amendment can come into play...
https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/does-the-constitution-allow-for-a-delayed-presidential-election
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.
If enough states (red states) say they are unable to certify their election results due to either civil unrest or the virus, the 12th can kick in...Guess what happens then, each state gets ONE vote.
26 states are cons (traitors)
24 are dems (patriots)
The math is simple, the point of my thread STAY HOME until Nov 3, do NOT protest, do NOT give the traitors, the fascists a reason to make this happen...PLEASE!
(David Frum is why I suggested he could postpone it in the first place, he wrote an article about two dates between now and election where he could somehow do that, but I cant find the article now, maybe I imagined it, who knows at this point.)
The last time I yelled as loud as I could for people to do something was asking people to stop bashing Hillary, and here we are. That didnt work, maybe some will listen to this and pass it on..
