Calls mount to challenge congressional ratification of electoral college vote Friday Jan 6
Call your congress critters and ask them to object to ratification of the Electoral College vote on Friday!
At Least 50 Trump Electors Were Illegitimately Seated as Electoral College Members
More evidence surfaces as calls mount to challenge congressional ratification of Electoral College vote.
"More than 50 Electoral College members who voted for Donald Trump were ineligible to serve as presisential electors because they did not live in the congressional district they represented or they held elective office in states legally barring dual officeholders.
That stunning finding is among the conclusions of an extensive 1,000-plus page legal briefing prepared by a bipartisan nationwide legal team for members of Congress who are being urged to object to certifying the 2016 Electoral College results on Friday.
“We have reason to believe that there are at least 50 electoral votes that were not regularly given or not lawfully certified (16 Congressional District violations and 34 Dual Office-Holder violations,” the executive summary of their “Electoral Vote Objection Packet” said. “The number could be over a hundred. We urge you to prepare written objections for January 6.”
A joint congressional session is scheduled to ratify the 2016 Electoral College vote on Friday. While there has been calls to challenge that certification, including one women-led effortsaying Trump would not have won without suppressing Black and Brown voters, the analysis that scores of Trump electors were improperly seated—and the additional finding that most states won by Trump improperly filed their Electoral College “Certificates of Vote” with Congress—is unprecedented.
“The compiling of the laws and evidence in this Electoral Vote Objection Package was completed by a national team of roughly 15 pro bono attorneys, law students, and legal assistants who represent no client or entity,” their summary said. “We are non-partisan—Democrat, Republican, and Independent. We live in different parts of the country, urban and rural, Red states and Blue states.”
It remains to be seen if Trump’s Electoral College certification will be challenged. The Electoral College’s results have only been challenged twice since 1877. The most recent was in 2005, when an objection to Ohio’s Electoral College votes was filed by Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, D-OH, and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA. While that effort did not stop President George W. Bush's reelection, it did force both chambers of Congress to each debate for two hours before the Electoral College vote was ratified. Tubbs-Jones and Boxer used the podium to rail against GOP efforts to suppress the vote and disqualify ballots—typically in communities of color."

We did this in 2005. If one senator and one rep challenges the results of the electoral college vote, congress adjourns to their respective houses and debates for two hours and C-span one and two cover it, and it gets a lot of media attention. Please call your congress people and ask them to object to the Electoral College vote on Friday!

Let's see, 306 - 50= 276. Ooops, still more than the 272 needed to win. Where's Lucy with the football?

They just don't quit, do they ?
Even if by some magical occurrence enough electors are disqualified, Congress is going to vote Trump anyway. All this amounts to is tail chasing.

So the DUmmies have another hope for denying Trump the presidency. Apparently some liberal group is claiming that some Trump electors were ineligible because they didn't live in the district, and some others were state office holders. Apparently this is going to cause the House of Representatives to block the election and throw it to Hillary or something. And it must be real, it's on ALternet and Raw Story :rofl:.

I'll just quote one of the original posts and let it go, because they're all pretty much the same, and all the responses are pretty please and prayers. So Trump wins for the 4th (5th?) time and we can extend our schaden boners. I'm sure they'll have something that will deny Trump on the 20th also, So much winning.

Bombshell report claims at least 50 Trump electors are illegitimate and should not have voted
Source: Raw Story
A bi-partisan legal team has issued a bombshell report challenging the Electoral College vote awarding Donald Trump the presidency, saying over 50 electors were seated illegally.
As reported by Steven Rosenfeld at Alternet, the group issued an executive summary of their “Electoral Vote Objection Packet” to Congressional members who are being asked to halt the certification the 2016 Electoral College results on Friday, January 6.
According to the report, “We have reason to believe that there are at least 50 electoral votes that were not regularly given or not lawfully certified (16 Congressional District violations and 34 Dual Office-Holder violations. The number could be over a hundred. We urge you to prepare written objections for January 6.”
At issue are charges that many of those who voted for Donald Trump were ineligible to serve as presidential electors because they either didn’t live in the congressional district they represented or because they held elective office in states legally barring dual officeholders.

Well now, I wonder how many of Hitlery's delegates would ALSO be disqualified, even if this actually went anyplace, which it won't.
:-)

Trump still won all of the states he won and is entitled to the EVs from those states. In the event that any of this tomfoolery did have any legal merit then Congress would be well-justified in voting for him on those grounds.

So much winning.
Yep, he's not even President yet, and we're getting tired of all this winning ... :)

and.........what they will find are Hillary's electors actually were not valid. :rofl:

Challengemas!!!! :yahoo:
I suspect the dummies are gonna be grasping at the fewer and fewer remaining straws the closer it gets to 1/20/2017. Then on that date either the dump will go on lockdown or get hacked again.
This makes me happy. :yahoo:
