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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |

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.

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.

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. |
