Can an Electoral College matchup flip in a joint session of Congress?
On Dec. 14, seven state Democratic electors cast their votes for the state’s certified Democratic candidate, Joe Biden. But at the same time, Republican electors also cast their votes for President Trump.
This phenomenon resulted in seven groups of so-called “Dueling Electors” (Dueling Electors, also known as “competing electors” and “Electoral College Duel”), or alternative electors. “The Dueling Electors, or alternate slates. The electors of both sides sent their certification to the joint session of the National Assembly held on January 6, 2021.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the objection should be based on the fact that the ballots were not “routinely cast” by the electors and/or that the electors were not “legally certified” under state election law.
If the objection meets the requirements, the joint session is suspended and each chamber retires to debate and choose whether to vote for the objection. Unless both chambers vote in favor of the dissent by a majority, it fails. If it passes, it invalidates the state’s electoral votes or could result in the acceptance of the waiting list.
Some experts believe that a no vote result would be practically difficult to occur. “It’s just too impossible,” said Gary Gregg II, director of the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville. “To get it through the Senate and the House at the same time? At this point … it’s not going to happen.”
Constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz emailed NTDTV to say that “neither chamber will approve the opposition.”
However, some experts disagree with them. John Eastman, a professor of law at Chapman University School of Law, said, “I think when it comes to a joint session of Congress, there will be an argument about which voter rolls should be counted based on the evidence and violations that are presented at the time.”

Put down the rebellion! Strike now! U.S. Militia Oath Keepers Issue Open Letter to Trump
The American Militia Oath Keepers sent an open letter to President Trump, penned by member Stewart Rhodes, Yale Law ’04, Army Airborne, and Texas attorney and former prosecutor Kellye SoRelle.
The open letter begins with General Washington, speaking to the Continental Army before the Battle of Long Island in 1776: “It is now close at hand, and may well be decided whether Americans shall be free men or slaves; whether they shall have any property to call their own; whether their houses and farms shall be plundered and destroyed, and they themselves shall be sent to a miserable condition, from which no human effort could not deliver them from it. The fate of millions of the unborn, under God’s blessing, will now depend on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and merciless enemy leaves us with only the choice of courageous resistance or the most humble submission. Therefore, we must resolve to conquer or die.”
The North American Conservative Review compiled the contents of the open letter, saying
President Trump.
We now face a moment of danger as great, if not greater, than that faced by General Washington and his men in 1776. Our nation’s survival as a free and constitutional republic is at stake. We have only one last chance to save it. The fate of the unborn millions will now depend on your actions, the actions of the current members of our armed forces, and the actions of our millions of American veterans and patriots who remain loyal to our Constitution.
When you took the oath of office, you took the following oath in accordance with Article II of the Constitution.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
It is time to honor that oath by defending the Constitution. Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
This is your moment of destiny. Will you take your place in history with Presidents Washington and Lincoln as the savior of our Republic? Or will you, although still capable, abstain from action and leave office on January 20, 2021, leaving We the People to fight a revolutionary civil war to the death against an illegitimate usurper and his puppet regime of the Chinese Communist Party (Chicom)?
Don’t wait until January 20, 2021. Strike now.
We no longer have a republic without clean elections, and the Constitution enjoins you to preserve the republican form of government by allowing the people to actually elect their own representatives in clean elections. You are explicitly required to do so by Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which states.
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in the Union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them from invasion.”
That corrupt institution will not fix this, but we the people will, one way or another, and we need you to lead us in this great battle to save our United States.
Furthermore, Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to.
“To call forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, and to suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.”
Congress provided for this long ago by passing the Insurrection Act, which delegated this decision and authority to you, as President and Commander-in-Chief.
The Counterinsurgency Act, Section 252 of the United States Code – the use of militia and armed forces to enforce federal authority – states.
“When, in the opinion of the President, unlawful obstruction, combination, or assembly, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, renders it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States by the ordinary course of justice in any State, he may muster the militia of any State, and use such armed forces as he may deem necessary to enforce such laws or suppress insurrection.”
Section 253 of the Counterinsurgency Act, in turn, states.
“The President, by the use of the militia or armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he may deem necessary to suppress any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy in a state, if it ……
(1) Opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States to the extent that any part or class of the people of the United States is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection provided by the Constitution and guaranteed by law, which the constitutional authorities of the State cannot, cannot, or refuse to protect, or grant
(2) To oppose or obstruct the enforcement of the laws of the United States, or the administration of justice under those laws.
In any case covered by paragraph (1), the State shall be deemed to have denied the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Constitution.”
Then, Article 254 states.
“Whenever the President deems it necessary to use the militia or armed forces under the provisions of this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peacefully to their homes within a limited time.”
