Over in Freeperville, they're all wet over "Alternate GOP Electors" giving Trump the win.

[Progressive Jones]

What the Hell is that all about?

[Sympthsical]

1. It has to do with Congressional contestation and which slate gets accepted

It's not even a Hail Mary. It's a fundraising scheme. It has zero chance of working.

But people will keep sending money, and by questioning Biden's legitimacy, they'll feel perfectly justified in going with Obama era obstruction on steroids.

It's a plan. And the plan is not to retain Trump.

[leftieNanner]

10. Apparently today

A number of "electors" in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan printed out fake affidavits and signed them - ostensibly as votes for Trump. I think they even sent some of them in! The Republican electors in Michigan tried to enter the building to submit their votes and the police would not let them in. HA!

It's nuts.

Some of the looneys are planning to contest the electoral vote count on January 6th in Congress. Jim Jordan, Louis Gomert and other such stellar operators have PLANS!!

Good luck with that, boys.

[Sympthsical]

12. They completely missed the whole "certification" portion of electoral law

Nothing they do today has been certified by any state official with the power to do so.

But we're not exactly dealing with Harvard graduates here.

[Yavin4]

26. Kayleigh McEnany is a Harvard graduate. n/t

[Mr.Bill]

31. Which raises the idea

that someone can graduate from Harvard and be a complete idiot.

[thucythucy]

19. What they did or attempted to do may well be against the law.

It's ironic that the folks screaming "election fraud" are the ones now actually committing it.

"Printing out fake affidavits" and trying to pass them off as real is probably against the law, in which case all these folks should be prosecuted.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Nothing

It's about nothing.
Made up alternate electors.
Well, let's play.
I got together a group of alternate electors, & Biden won 538-0.
I can make stuff up, too!

[Yavin4]

27. We went from Alt Right to Alt Electors.

They're creating their own Alt Reality.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. they think elector cosplayers are the same as the real thing...

[Yavin4]

28. They're presidential electors in the same sense that this guy is...

The Batman:

[COLGATE4]

32. Holy Bat-gut, Batman!!!

[2naSalit]

4. In the contested by -45 states...

There were groups of assholes claiming to be electors and they tried to cast phony votes thinking they would be counted instead..? There are a couple videos of them floating around DU.

[FakeNoose]

5. Okay ... time to say it again ...

[aeromanKC]

6. Loser MAGAt's being Loser MAGAt's

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. It's adorable. They all gathered in blanket forts in Steve Miller's basement

and had unsupervised fun all day playing Alternate Elector. Steve's mom came downstairs with cookies and cocoa when they were done, collected the crayons and the sheets of construction paper they voted on, and promised them that she'd mail their votes to Congress tomorrow morning right after she takes Steve to daycare at the White House.

[msongs]

11. did they all make cute little swastika flags nt

[Blue Owl]

8. Duh huh huh, uh... huh huh huh... huh huh huh...

[img][/img]

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. That's a fake MAGAt! It's not screaming.

[captain queeg]

9. Alternate electors, alternate facts...they live in an alternte reality.

[Downtown Hound]

13. It's about being so pathetic that you literally

allow yourself to believe that fantasy cosplayers are the same deal as the real thing.

[chriscan64]

14. Now that Trump has won the Alternate Electoral College

he can be president of Alternate America, wherever that is.

[JHB]

15. Alternate Reality

You can skip to the 3:00 mark

[tanyev]

16. Pity there's no Matrix for them to go into and enjoy their delusional fantasies.

[Kaleva]

17. I see many dismissing this too so that's a good sign.

I get a sense that the Kraken box office bomb and the recent action by SCOTUS has taken the wind out of the sails for some over there and they have accepted defeat.

[C_U_L8R]

18. "Alternate" intelligence.

In other words, non-existent.

[MineralMan]

20. "All wet" is a very unfortunate expression as you used it.

Its misogynistic and sexist, I'm afraid.

[LSFL]

24. Huh. Initially I took it to mean they were salivating

Or drooling.
You are correct of course, Mineral Man.

[TeamPooka]

21. They are emotionaling seceding from the Union. Trump is their Jefferson Davis and they

are building their New Confederacy for which trump will charge them rent.

[struggle4progress]

22. Cargo cult

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult#:~:text=A%20cargo%20cult%20is%20a,during%20the%20Second%20World%20War.

[CentralMass]

23. How's that working out for them ?

[jcgoldie]

25. Saw the guys in the parking lot in Nevada...

...seemed like some losers at a dead show who didn't have tickets...

[Tarc]

29. They're actually invoking Tilden-Hayes, and think these alternate slates are legit

forgetting the tiny fact that they have no legitimization from favorable court rulings, governors, etc... hence their parking lot votes.

No challenge will be affirmed by both House and Senate when the counting time comes. VP Pence is not going to wave Magic Jesus Dust on the electoral vote box and make more votes for Trump appear.

FReepers are degenerate swine.
