If Republican trickery with their refusal to certify the election, so the republican house determines the election,

[Fiendish Thingy]

55. OK, what if?

Walk me through a hypothetical scenario - you pick the state/states where a RW governor decides to disenfranchise the voters of his state by refusing to send a slate of electors and deny his residents representation in congress.

Then what do you imagine would happen?

The only thing for certain (assuming the governor was actually successful in not sending electors to congress) would be that the total number of duly appointed electors would be reduced, which would in turn reduce the number of electors needed to obtain a majority and therefore the presidency.

Pick your state(s) and give me your evidence and reality based worst case scenario. Don’t forget to show your work regarding any math involved.

If I’ve overlooked any facts or details (as opposed to speculative opinions) feel free to point them out.

Here’s my hypothetical worst case scenario:

Georgia fails to send a slate of electors, reducing the total number of electors from 538 down to 522. This means to win the presidency a candidate need only get 261 EV’s.

But wait, there’s more! Let’s say Trump wins PA and MI, and Harris takes NV, NC and AZ.



Harris ends up with 269 EV’s and the presidency, although not without some major tantrums during the joint session on January 6.

(Ignore that NC is shown as dark blue; I was just tapping quickly to get the numbers I needed)
