Today's the day electors vote.

... and apparently, they're having to vote in secret locations because of the Trump-incited threats against them....

Some are taking precautions, not all.

Some are taking precautions, not all.

And not secret.

Michigan Gov. Whitmer Addresses Security Threat To Electoral College Vote https://www.npr.org/sections/biden-transition-updates/2020/12/14/946243439/michigan-gov-whitmer-addresses-security-threat-to-electoral-college-vote?sc=18&f=1001


But yeah, the party of peace is clearly not making threats to electors.  Nope.  Not at all.

In Michigan the GOP Electors showed up to try and vote for Trump but apparently democracy is still a thing and Biden won Michigan so they were told to get lost.

[Tumeni]

Trump's team filed a new case today, in New Mexico, objecting to the use of drop boxes to return absentee ballots.

Hang on, is this really being filed by the same Republican team who installed EXTRA drop boxes, allbeit unofficial ones, on the streets of California? Surely not.

EDIT - Probably moot now, since the Electoral College votes for Biden have just passed 270 ....

Bill Barr "resigns".

[Tumeni]

per Marc Elias on twitter (@marceelias), as of 14 hours or so ago, the Trump team's tally was, out of 58 cases, 1 barely-significant win, and 57 losses.

Sounds like a lie. List them out ...

As reported at the twitter account above, and linked to at democracydocket.com from that account;

Trump team's 58th loss was 20-cv-1785-BHL in Wisconsin. 12/12/20
Plaintiff's complaint dismissed with prejudice
Plaintiff's motion for injunction denied.

etc as per post above ....

per Marc Elias, Trump team's latest case in Georgia denied by GA SC within hours of filing, and dismissed in one line.

Case no. S21M0565

By his tally, Trump team now has 1 win, 59 losses.

Like the GOP trying to assert their own electors on the 6th in complete contravention of State election laws, as well as Federal?

It’s getting pretty stupid out there.

My guess is Trump's next move is to tweet that he's fired the Supreme Court.

My guess is Trump's next move is to tweet that he's fired the Supreme Court.

Or pack it with family and friends so there's no way he can lose.

The scariest thing about all this election bull shit is that really, all the GOP would need to steal the election is a majority in both houses and a majority of state legislatures.  That's a huge flaw.

If there isn't meaningful reform in the electoral process, it's only a matter of time before the office of the president is stolen in this fashion.

Worse than that, Trump had a majority in the House and the Senate. If he had a corrupt Attorney General  like Bob Barr instead of Jeff Sessions, he could have done anything he wanted.

Fortunately, he's an incompetent buffoon who screws up everything he touches. He missed out on his chance for world domination.

I’m not sure what you mean, but I’m talking about the specific election procedures in the constitution and how they are insufficient to protect the result of an election.

"The move was fashioned after the 1960 presidential election, which saw incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon win Hawaii. While legal challenges from Democrats were pending, Democratic electors met to cast a vote for John F. Kennedy."

So? Dumb people doing dumb things in the past doesn’t make it legitimate today. Neither does it warrant any level or surprise or outrage that they weren’t admitted to the capitol building in the middle of the pandemic when there were reported threats of violence.

It wasn't dumb. Congress chose the alternate electors for Kennedy that were submitted in Hawaii in 1960:

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CRECB-2000-pt18/html/CRECB-2000-pt18-Pg26609-2.htm

"Indeed, in 1960, Hawaii appointed two slates of electors
and Congress chose to count the one appointed on January 4, 1961, well
after the Title 3 deadlines.' (Bush v. Gore, slip opinion at 30.)"
