“The court could not intervene. If the court was asked to intervene the court would declare the issue a political question for Congress to fix and something the courts are unqualified to address.”
This is of course wrong (and doesnt even make sense)
so You are saying we are lucky Biden Cheney Gore didn’t act on this magical ability they have secretly been granted that only a few MAGA supporters are aware of?
“Five states this year have multiple competing slates of electors. ”
This is incorrect
There are 5 states where people appointed themselves as “backup electors” but people appointing themselves has no legal meaning. NO state legislature or governor appointed any backup electors
“The Electoral Count Act clearly states that the Vice President shall open all *purported* slates of electors submitted to Congress”
It doesn’t give the Vice President the ability to decide which to count. That paower belongs solely to the states
Again Ghomert wants the Electoral count act thrown out, becasue he thinks the constituio lets the Vice President decide (he is wrong of course but that is his clam) but with the Electoral count act still Law The VP clearly doesnt get to choose, and without it he probably doesnt
and again No state sent 2 sets of electors
“some comedian submitted an official looking purported slate of electors for a state as a joke and, in accordance with the act, Congress opened and acknowledged it.”
while this has zero bearing on anything you’ve incorrectly said. It is still interesting. Can you please provide a bit more details What comedian? what state? OR reference to story Google is turning up nothing
thanks
