The electoral college votes in all 50 U.S. states on Dec. 14 to confirm the winner of the presidential and pay-for-presidential races saw double votes in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and New Mexico, with Republican lawmakers in those seven states casting their electoral votes for President Trump and Vice President Pence.
Republican bigwigs bow their heads
After the Electoral College vote, the leftist media once again claimed Biden’s victory, and Newsmax, an emerging media outlet that had outpaced FOX for its pro-Trump ratings, also began calling Biden president-elect. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Mexican President Lopez, who had not acknowledged Biden’s victory, also sent congratulatory messages to Biden. In particular, the top Republican, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), also bowed his head and conceded defeat, congratulating Biden and Harris. A black cloud overwhelmed the city, as if Biden had really been elected president of the United States.
“The Electoral College has spoken, so I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden today,” McConnell said on television on the 15th. “I also want to congratulate the vice president-elect, my colleague from California, Senator Harris…, all Americans are proud, except for our differences, that for the first time our country has elected a woman vice president.”
Some Republican bigwigs followed up after McConnell’s televised address, including Senate Republican No. 2 John Thune, Senate Law Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, and Senate Republican No. 4 Roy Blunt, among others. McConnell, Thune and Blunt are even privately warning Republican senators not to challenge the outcome of the electoral vote.
Trump is getting more and more frustrated
McConnell and a group of other Republican bigwigs caved in, frustrating Trump supporters and putting Trump in an isolated position. It is the weakness of these Republican bigwigs to back down that makes the election fraud in some swing states blatant, stealing the election results and plunging the American Republic into the darkest of times.
The more Trump gets frustrated, the more courageous he is, never saying die. Trump shouted to McConnell via Twitter: Mitch, 75,000,000 votes, the highest for a sitting president (in terms of votes received). Gave up too soon. Republicans must finally learn to fight. People are angry! White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Dec. 15 that President Trump will not give up and is still engaged in the ongoing lawsuit challenging the election results.
The U.S. Constitution states that Congress does not become final until after the electoral votes are confirmed on Jan. 6. Congress has the power to reject electoral votes in certain states. Jenna Ellis, President Trump’s constitutional lawyer, tweeted, “This battle fight is not over and it’s far from over …… State legislatures still have plenty of time to complete their constitutionally mandated work to ensure the right electoral college is sent. “
What the Republican Party needs is the courage to fight
What the Republican Party needs is the courage to fight, you still have plenty of time to take back the election results that were stolen by fraud!
Shane Vaughn, a constitutional studies scholar and conservative pastor in Mississippi, believes it is “critical” that President Trump not speak of defeat. Vaughn said such statements of defeat are a customary practice.
All presidential elections have ended with a defeat speech by the opponent. “At the moment of the defeat speech, those who supported him are ordered to quiet down, to go home, it’s over. It was a kind of surrender, a white flag was raised…. Once the defeat is conceded, the fight is over, no more legal challenges, nothing more. After all this, there’s just a rubber stamp thing left….
More importantly, this statement of defeat from his opponent gives him (the new president) legitimacy.” President Trump’s failure to concede defeat and speak of defeat means the battle is far from over.
Brooks wants a senator to join him
Not all Republican lawmakers are in the same boat as bigwigs like McConnell. Mo Brooks, a six-term veteran congressman from Alabama, said on Jan. 15 that he will vote against electoral votes in some states when Congress certifies the electoral votes on Jan. 6.
Brooks hopes a senator will join him so that Congress is forced to vote on whether to accept or reject such systemically flawed Electoral College votes. Speaking on FOX, Brooks said, “If we only counted legal American citizens casting votes, Donald Trump would win the Electoral College and we shouldn’t count illegal votes and elect an illegal president of the United States…. If we surrender, the chances of success are zero…. Fighting has a better chance than surrendering, so I choose to fight…. We are a Republic, and the cornerstone of a Republic is an honest and accurate voting system. If there is no honest, accurate voting system, then there is no right to claim to be a republic.”
The result is that “the man who steals the most votes and commits the most fraud becomes the man who rules Washington, DC. That’s not what our Founding Fathers wanted. That’s not what a million or so Americans who lost their lives in the war and gave their lives to our republic want.” Brooks urged voters to call their legislators and ask them to stand up or they will not be given their votes in the future.
Brooks: “Senator McConnell is not the key. The key is the American voter…. If voters demand action, elected officials respond appropriately. So it’s all in the hands of the voters.”
Swing State Republicans Succumb to Public Opinion Control and Physical Threats
Republicans in swing states had a chance to turn the tide, and the opportunity was wasted because they lacked the courage to fight. The U.S. Constitution provides that state legislatures determine the electoral college, not the governor and state election commission. But in implementation, state legislatures have given the governor and the state election commission the power to decide the electoral college.
During the hearings in each swing state legislature, President Trump’s constitutional lawyer Ellis repeatedly emphasized the right of each state legislature (state House of Representatives) to take back the power to determine the Electoral College under the Constitution. Republicans control the House of Representatives in all swing states, and if Republicans had the courage to do that, the red dust of the election would have settled long ago. But the weak Republicans didn’t do that, and none of the six swing states did. Republicans lacked the courage to fight in the face of public opinion control and physical threats.
‘Alternative’ electoral votes
On December 14, Republican lawmakers in seven states, including Georgia, cast their Electoral College votes for President Trump and Vice President Pence. But the Electoral College is a “substitute”.
White House senior adviser Stephen Miller (D-N.Y.) said the election was an “alternative” to the one held by President Trump. Stephen Miller, a senior White House adviser, said on FOX 14 that the Republican electoral votes “will ensure that we remain open to all legal remedies.
That means that if we win these cases in court, we can direct that the substitute electors be certified (that the substitute electors’ votes be valid).” “If President Trump’s campaign is successful in any ongoing legal efforts in these states, the ‘substitute’ electoral votes will be certified at the joint session of Congress that convenes on January 6 to count the ballots and formally declare the winner of the election.” Miller’s remarks demonstrate the significance of ‘alternative’ electoral votes.
The Electoral College votes cast by Republicans are cast by Republican legislators in the swing states, not by the Republican-controlled state legislatures in the swing states. To turn the “substitute” electoral votes into official votes, either the swing state legislatures pass a resolution to re-elect the Electoral College and have it approved by both houses of Congress on Jan. 6, or the Trump camp wins in court and those illegal votes are annulled.
Constitutional Vote for President and Vice President
Article II Section 1 of the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that each state shall appoint an electoral college, as directed by the state legislature, equal in number to the total number of senators and representatives of the state in Congress.
The electors shall assemble in their respective states to vote for the President and Vice President, at least one of whom shall not be a resident of the elector’s state. The electors shall write on the ballot the name of the person chosen for President and on the other ballot the name of the person chosen for Vice President.
The electors shall make a separate list of all persons chosen for President and all persons chosen for Vice President, stating the number of votes received by each; shall sign and testify to such list, and shall send the sealed list to the President of the Senate at the seat of government of the United States.
The person who receives the largest number of votes for President shall be President if he receives more than half of the total number of electors elected. If more than one person receives more than one-half of the total number of electors and the votes are equal, the House of Representatives shall immediately vote to elect one of them as President. If no one receives more than half of the votes, the House of Representatives shall immediately vote for the President from among the list of persons elected as President who receive the greatest number of votes but not more than three. However, in the election of the President, the votes are counted on a state-by-state basis, with each state representative having one vote; 2/3 of the states each having one or more members of the House present constitute a quorum for the election of the President, and a majority of the votes of all states is required to elect the President.
In theory, we still “don’t know” who was elected by the state electoral college, and certainly no one is officially recognized as the president-elect. The president-elect will not be officially elected until Senate President Mike Pence opens the Electoral College ballots in front of all House members and senators on January 6 of next year, asks for the votes to be counted, and then announces the president-elect.
The House and Senate vote to determine the president
If the Republican-majority state House of Representatives in seven states resolves to select an additional electoral college before January 6 next year, the current “substitute” electoral college becomes the official electoral college.
Because the governors and state election commissions also sent an electoral college on December 14, the seven states have two legal electoral college, Trump and Biden both received more than 270 votes, Trump got 316 electoral votes, Biden got 306 electoral votes, Trump won.
If the Republicans do not accept this result, Congress will vote after two hours of debate debates in the House and Senate under the chairmanship of Senate President Mike Pence, the House of Representatives is one state one vote to decide the president, and one Senator one vote to pay the president in the Senate.
House Republicans control 30 states and Democrats 20 states. There are 84 electoral votes in seven states, and Trump will win with 316 electoral votes. Senate Republicans have 50 to 52 seats, and the two Georgia Senate seats will be decided in the January 5 re-election. Even if the worst-case scenario occurs and the Republicans lose the two Georgia Senate seats, paying for a 50:50 deadlock in the presidential election, Senate President Mike Pence could vote and seal the deal.
There is still a chance to challenge the Electoral College’s Dec. 14 vote on Jan. 6. If at least one House member and one Senator simultaneously challenge an elector’s ballot during Senate President Pence’s roll call, the Senate and House will hold a two-hour debate, and if both chambers agree to reject the elector’s ballot, the elector’s ballot is nullified.
Rep. Brooks is going to do just that. To achieve the goal of repealing the electoral votes of certain states, not only does it require a senator to join Brooks in dissenting, but it also requires the number of members who will support it in both chambers on the ballot. Democrats currently have 222 seats in the House and Republicans have 212 seats. So Brooks is calling on voters to call members of both parties and ask them to stand up and fight for their country.
The election is rigged by a foreign power
The Republicans’ lack of courage to fight is due not only to individual members of Congress, but also to the environment. 2020 election cheating is often rampant, and cheaters are so aggressive that they have issued physical threats to righteous lawyers, witnesses, and legislators. The leftist mainstream media has been paid by the Chinese Communist Party to turn a blind eye to the massive and systematic election fraud that has hoodwinked much of the public.
There is overwhelming evidence that the 2020 election was rigged by foreign powers and that there was massive, premeditated, and organized election fraud. Elections are the cornerstone of democracy, and this election has turned into a battle for the survival of the American Republic. Republicans must show the courage to fight. If they don’t have the courage to fight, they may never have the chance to fight.
Courage to fight comes from the voters
There is still time to take back the election, and there are multiple paths to take back the election, but each path requires a fight. Everyone on Trump’s side needs to have the courage to fight. The judiciary should have the courage to hold a thorough investigation into the election fraud and make the truth public; the legal team should continue to work hard to win through litigation; the general public should take up their civic responsibility to break the control of public opinion by the leftist media and spread the truth about the election fraud and Biden’s corruption to their friends, neighbors and colleagues; write and call their congressmen and ask them to stand up and fight for the country; join the protest against the election fraud and support Trump’s re-election The public’s protest against the election fraud and Biden’s corruption was spread to friends, neighbors and colleagues.
Public demonstrations against election fraud, public hearings in swing states, seven states proposing “alternative” electoral colleges, dozens of lawsuits from the Trump camp, and especially Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Supreme Court case against four battleground states for election violations of federal law, supported by President Trump himself and 24 states, have been powerful in spreading the truth and somewhat breaking the grip of the leftist media.
The Economist/YouGov poll shows that three-quarters of 75 percent of registered voters believe fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election.
Ninety-two percent of Republican voters believe the election is rigged.
Legislators are elected by the people, and the only thing that can give legislators courage and strength is the voters and the beliefs of the legislators. Everyone can’t stay out of this battle between good and evil, and everyone has to make their own choice.
