1. do they really want over 70 million ppl marching to their front doors?

[Saboburns]

10. They. Don't. Care.

I'll be out front in the march. But I'm telling y'all they will do ANYTHING.

[PTWB]

11. They aint gonna do that.

They'll do everything they think they can get away with - up until they think the people are going to rise up and have a French Revolution moment - and then back off again for a little while.

You can't keep pushing people and pushing people and pushing people and expect them not to push back eventually. If they had republican legislatures overturn the will of the people I'd wager that would be a tipping point.

[Saboburns]

13. I think they will.

They're going to the "faithless elector" route.

Actually, there's no doubt in my mind they will.

2. Wait

I thought the GOP were big believers in the Electoral College and its rules.

3. I do not doubt

They will try it

[Archetypist]

4. Graham is seditious

either he will back off soon and try to cozy up to President Biden, or he will veer further right and embrace qAnon and whatever that morphs into.

5. That must have been an illuminating conversation of false premises and outright lies.

[Thekaspervote]

6. That will never happen!

And here's from the expert who wrote THE book on the electoral college, @jessewegman

Jesse Wegman

This is incorrect, caps or not. All states give the choice of electors to the people directly. You can't change the rules after the game has been played.

Only if a state has "failed to make a choice" can legislature take back the electors. A close margin is not a failure

7. I suspect the Republicans in PA aren't taking Trump's calls.

8. Just red meat for their base. But so damn irresponsible and undemocratic!

[still_one]

9. What a piece of garbage. I don't think there is a law that would allow it. They are trying to

destroy our democracy

[gollygee]

12. They're flaming out

Just a tantrum.

[NCjack]

16. If those two fools do start an insurrection, we can be sure that they will be hiding out

in a shelter next to an U.S. Army base.

[BruceWane]

14. Not the sharpest tools......

They were also expressing their outrage that Arizona had been called for Biden. Oblivious to the fact that the only network that has done so is Fox.

[struggle4progress]

15. If any legislature actually does this, I suspect folk like Graham

may be nervously looking over their shoulders for many years to come

[Blasphemer]

17. It's time for someone with info on Lady G to come forward.... nt

[roamer65]

19. THIS.
