48. check the Vote tally after bush v. Gore

Sun Sep 25, 2022, 08:54 AM

Sep 2022

The black caucus, comprising Florida Dems, protested the awarding of electoral votes from Florida to bush. Al Gore told them they couldn't go on with the protest, because no Senator had signed on to support it.

That was it. No rebellion, no storming the Capitol and no threats of death from anyone who actually was cheated out of their leadership.

In 2016, when Hilary won the popular vote, 7 electors voted for a candidate other than their own party. There was no rebellion, attak on the Capitol or death threats against sitting, elected officials participating in the count: https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/president

There are way too many traitors sitting in the Capitol who are subverting the goverment every single day they are allowed to stay.
