This is just getting fucking ludicrous

Conversations underway about inviting Pennsylvania lawmakers to the White House

Two sources tell CNN there are discussions currently underway with the President about inviting Republican state legislators from Pennsylvania to the White House.

It's not clear if those invitations have been extended yet, but President Trump has expressed interest in doing so as he tries to insert himself into the vote certification process.

1. If this isn't fucking criminal it should be.

6. It is a criminal conspiracy.

3. Which legislators??

I’m from PA and want their names made public!

[Mike 03]

4. Kaitlyn Collins (sp?) is on CNN discussing this right

now.

She's not sure if invitations have been extended yet...

5. Legislature has no role in certifying the election

It is purely the role of the SOS, who is a democrat.

7. I'm pretty sure the PA SoS (D) and Governor (D) determine the electors

I'm not concerned about this approach in PA.

Absolute worst case is PA sends two sets of electors (I really don't think that will even happen). But even if that happened, the new Congress would determine which electors get chosen. And if Congress can't agree it defaults to the Governor's choice.

Like I said, I'm not worried about this one.

I'm worried about militiamen in the streets, but not this PA gambit.

8. My understating is the canvas board has to certify first which is equally divided as it is in MICH.

If there is a tie it goes to the State legislature not the SOS.

Please correct me if I am wrong with the information I have.

9. I hear....

they will be serving Lame Duck In Aspic for dinner.

10. And of course senior Republicans with some clout

are lining up to publicly denounce Trump, support Biden's win and a smooth transition.
