A potential plan by Republican leaders to steal the 2024 presidential election. The plan involves delaying the certification of election results in key battleground states, potentially decreasing the overall number of electors appointed and allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency through a contingent election, whereby the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, determines the president.
Why don’t we just force runoff elections when things are off. It costs a few million, yes. But isn’t it better for people to decide instead of one judge?
Because that would change the results. People would be able to change their votes. It could result in yet another things are off. It doesn’t resolve. It complicates.
I don’t see a problem with that.
This invites running the election over and over until the party already in power gets the results they want.
