Pence said. President Trump demanded that I use my authority as vice president presiding over the count of the Electoral College to essentially overturn the election by returning or literally rejecting votes.
Could, unlikely but, could she throw out the electoral vote?

(132 posts)I am not saying ignore the polls. I am saying to remember that 90% of the polls are owned,
operated or controlled by trumps maggots. These maggots want to make you feel your vote is useless.
The other reason the polls are rigged is so when trump declares the election illegal and gets his herd of
Maggots to contest the election. He can claim the polls all said he should have won.
Do not give that turd an excuse to contest the election. Vote Blue, Vote Big. A landslide for the democrats
up and down the ballot will wipe out his excuse of rigged election.

(4,658 posts)If neither candidate reaches the required minimum number of electoral votes-270.
Thats my biggest fear. It goes to the House where its a Republican Majority with Johnson as Speaker. They would have the majority and therefore pick Trump.
Or am I wrong? Yes, I am!
EDIT!!! According to further research, turns out that its the newly elected House that does the voting if neither candidate reaches the 270 electoral votes! So, we could have a chance at Kamala if we can win back the House, right?
Each State gets only one vote. Each representative decides who that State will vote for as one State. They can do a vote by the majority of congress reps in the State. (If I remember my American Constitution class from 40 years ago, correctly.)
