West Virginia House introduces resolution that would not recognize a Presidential election under specific circumstanceshttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/west-virginia-house-introduces-resolution-that-would-not-recognize-a-presidential-election-under-specific-circumstances/ar-AA1rPWNa

House Concurrent Resolution 203 said the Democrat-led regime has utterly failed and continues to fail in a suspicious manner, in its absolute duty to adequately protect the Republican nominee for President.
The resolution said the state wouldnt recognize the election of a Democratic candidate if the Republican presidential or vice presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, defacto eliminated or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning.
It also said if the West Virginia Attorney General or Secretary of State with the State Legislature determine[d] election fraud or interference was the reason the candidate got the majority in the Electoral College, they would not recognize the candidates election.
If it is determined that the illegal or illicit elimination of the Republican presidential or vice presidential candidate happened, or if election fraud or interference results in the Constitutionally illegitimate selection of a President during the 2024 election cycle, the Legislature will be called into a special session to preserve the Freedom of our People, according to the resolution.

What is it with these states thinking they can rewrite the Constitution now?

(22,078 posts)2. i'm not sure that law is even legal itself...
at least the way it is explained here.
i dont think you can write a law that says protect THIS person under THESE circumstances
but not THAT person under the exact same circumstances.
ill let the lawyers here comment, but that just wouldnt fly i dont think.

That might even be the calculation.
