So, five “alternate” slates of electors were sent to the National Archivist: AZ, NV, NM, PA and GA. But the election law says that the Archivist can forward only slates of electors that have been certified by the state. So, none of these alternate slates have been sent to Congress for tomorrow’s counting of the votes.

Damn that deep state for reading and following the law!

RI,

I sure hope you’re firing some of these posts off as letters to an editor. They’re really good breakdowns of current events, and deserve a wider reading audience.

Excellent point.

The Archivist probably noticed the names matched the seven dwarfs. Might as well send in something phony when it involves Trump.

I think you’re probably correct about the dwarves, except they’re all named Grumpy.

Besides the fact that the Scots generally hate his guts, there's this:

He's right. The treason weasels need to pull their pocket Constitutions out of their asses and read them.

Trump finally made explicit the real argument he's making: It's okay to violate the Constitution if you're trying to save the Constitution. Think about that one.

That’s how democracy works.
