How does Trump win the election?

I’m genuinely curious. What is the mechanism where he wins another term and is sworn in on January 20? I’m interested in Trump supporters explaining how he will accomplish this. I keep hearing people say it’s not over yet but I’m not clear on the specific steps.

If Congress doesn't certify the results. Federal law gives individual members of the House and Senate the power to challenge the results.

@PolitelyIrreverent I've read the Constitution. That's not remotely what it says.

@OggggO Which part are you confused about?

@PolitelyIrreverent I'm not confused.

@SW-User The house republicans intend to object , and I know of a few senators that are publicly decrying the fraud now .

@PolitelyIrreverent Here's how it works.

The House can vote to object to a state's results on an individual basis. But they also need at least one Senator to join them. So far, no Senator has publicly said they will back a challenge, unlike some Republican House Members who have said they will challenge PA, MI, WI, GA, and AZ.

If one Senator does join a challenge then the two chambers will debate for a couple of hours as to whether they will toss that state's results.

Here's where you are wrong: Each chamber requires a simple majority. You're thinking of what happens if the Electoral College is tied; then the House does indeed vote by State. Not in this instance, though.

Therefore, any challenge in the House will fail as it is controlled by the Democrats. The Senate also requires a simple majority, and seeing as many Republican Senators, including Mitch McConnell, have now stated publicly that Biden has won, that will fail too.

If, in the extremely unlikely event the chambers disagree, then the final say goes to the respective State Governors.

And if you look at the current governors in those disputed states, that's not going to end well for Trump or you Trumpettes, now is it? ;)

Trump has lost. Learn to cope 😎
@Uachtarain I’m unaffiliated. Hope you feel better for lashing out, though. Who hurt you?
Uachtarain · 26-30, M
@PolitelyIrreverent That's hardly lashing out. If stating the truth is lashing out then sorry you feel that way. Also, your rabidly anti-lib pro-Trump post would beg to differ...
@Uachtarain You need to find something to take your hate out on. Mom? Dad? Heal yourself, dude. I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Uachtarain · 26-30, M
@PolitelyIrreverent There's no hate in my post. It does seem as though you can't handle the truth, which is that Trump lost :)
@Uachtarain Why are you getting so defensive? I’m just trying to help you.
Uachtarain · 26-30, M
@PolitelyIrreverent OK. I think you should change your name to PolitelyIrrelevant :)
@Uachtarain The irony is how relevant you seem to need to be to me. A question was asked. I posted a concept someone else had written to answer. You know, Q&A, kinda the rhythm of this site. Why you got offended, I have no idea.
Uachtarain · 26-30, M
@PolitelyIrreverent I didn't get offended. I merely pointed out why you were wrong. I said "Trump lost, learn to cope", yes. I don't recall getting offended, so please refresh my memory by pointing out what I said.

@Uachtarain Thanks. I was going to explain that myself. A lot of people are under the impression that if a senator and a congressman object to the count, it automatically goes to the scenario where each state delegation gets one vote. Of course those are two completely separate processes.

I would only correct you in that if the two chambers cannot agree on whether to toss a state's electors, the slate approved by the legislature prevails. It's interesting how the same conservatives who are always going on about "states' rights" don't seem to understand that in a federal system like ours, the national government has very little power to do anything about how a state chooses electors. If a state's laws say that in the event of a dispute, the electors for the party that comes first in alphabetical order prevails, they get to do that.

Correct and that would not lead to a could result for you dems. @Lila15

@Lila15 The constitution provided relief in case a scenario such as this current election ever happened. It only takes an objection by one house member, seconded by a senator to invoke the constitutional remedy . That has nothing to do with electors since they are part of the fraud. The electoral college is by passed and the house and senate vote . Each state gets one vote in the house for the president and the senate votes for the vice president.

@jackjjackson you mean CNN doesn’t tell them everything ?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
It tells them what to think and say but omits truth accuracy and facts accidentally. @TexChik

@jackjjackson 😲🤦🏻‍♀️. Hahahaha they are propaganda pimps
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
As of this morning, the NYT’s last exposure of lying puts them in the same category if they weren’t already. @TexChik

@jackjjackson of course

You said:

(even though I'm not a dem)


Er.. yes it would. The legislatures of the disputed states all voted for Biden. Whoops :) Try again🤭
