73. The Jokes On Them (Rioters)

By the sounds of it, TFG's minions had a plan to delay the Electoral College tally by actions of Republican members of Congress. The plan was to get enough members to protest the closest state results where Republicans held the legislature so Pence wouldn't count them in the final tally giving TFG a plurality. Then have those states left out would have their state legislatures throw out the vote and send in their own slate of delegates to flip to TFG. All the while, the right-wing media would sow doubt on the final tallies and create a 3 ring circus, which no doubt TFG would have taken full advantage of to crush any opponents.

The rioters put a wrench into all of this and Pence and Congress finished their work ASAFP (because who knows what would have happened if either the House or Senate adjourned).

I think this plan was a real stretch. Would the states in question actually throw out the vote in favor of their own prejudices? IDK to be honest. If this had happened, I would have supported a nation-wide strike and probably joined in any protest to over ride the vote in my state. It could have been ugly for sure.
