"I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and let the country have the debate about what actually matters," the Ohio senator said Tuesday.

    Yep, Trump’s got several paths to stealing a dictatorship:

    1. States refuse to certify, leading to lawsuits and eventually the subverted SCOTUS handing Trump their EC votes regardless of what the actual popular vote counts were. (Bush v. Gore 2.0)
    2. The traitorous Trump certifiers sow enough doubt that violence breaks out. (Jan 6 2.0)
    3. States refuse to certify, leading to results being thrown out entirely, neither candidate getting to 270 EC votes, and the election being decided by a “one state, one vote” poll in the House (which Trump would be sure to win because of all the low-population red states).

      The traitorous Trump certifiers sow enough doubt that violence breaks out and Vance refuses to certify. (Jan 6 2.0)

      Kamala Harris will still be VP when the votes are counted this January 6. Yes, she will be certifying her own election, win or lose. It’s a quirk that happens when a sitting VP runs for President. Ask Al Gore about it.
