Can the House stop the GOP from stealing the election

[samsingh]

Can't Pelosi withhold funding if the gop tries to cement their destruction of Democracy?

1. House has to certify final Electoral College results...nt

[Frustratedlady]

4. If a state is won by, say Biden, do the EVs all go to Biden, or can they split some to Biden

and some to Trump? That's my fear.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Only two states currently do split ECV. ME and NE...nt

[Frustratedlady]

6. Thanks. That answers my question about why people were worried about Repuke legislators.

Some would still have enough time to change that rule? Oh my!

Been gone today and just catching up.

Back to the sick stomach.

8. USSC ruled that Electors must follow state law when they vote...nt

[Frustratedlady]

12. But what are the chances that the Republican-controlled legislature of a state

changes their law on electoral voting before they vote? Isn't it that Dec. 12th or so?

[Wounded Bear]

13. It would still be ex post facto...

they have to follow law in effect before the election.

[Frustratedlady]

14. Phew! Thanks again!

16. All it would take would be one SCOTUS ruling against us.

The SCOTUS could choose to ignore the ex post facto law prohibition of the Constitution, if they wanted to, and Trump could be re-elected that way.

2. The House cannot singlehandedly withhold funding

[Cartaphelius]

3. Perhaps they could redirect, reassign or retask

the money while Biden holes-up at the Four Seasons
(the real one) and send Donald the bill.

7. they can shut down the gubmint

i saw it happen multiple times during Obama's 8 years.

if there are "faithless" electors seated, they will withhold certification.

[StarfishSaver]

17. Shutting down the government affects agencies; Congress could still meet and certify results

[kentuck]

9. They could impeach him again.

That would keep the Senate busy, rather than carrying the milk and pacifier for Donald Trump, they would be voting whether to convict and dismiss from office OR suffer his toxicity for another four years. Wow! Such a tough decision.

[unblock]

10. Lack of funds? They're the party of billionaires.

And they want to kill government programs anyway.
They'll just loot the treasury, raid social security, etc.

11. Refuse to seat ANY incoming Retrumplican House members until Dipshit Donnie is gone

Want to play some hardball you fucking Retrumplican asspickles.

[Laelth]

15. Probably not.

If the election ever gets to the House, each state gets one vote, and the Republicans control more state delegations than we do. The House would elect Trump if it ever got that far.

-Laelth

[StarfishSaver]

19. That only applies in case of a tie in the Electoral College

Otherwise, any vote regarding the results would be one-Member-one-vote.

[Laelth]

20. Right.

But there’s no other way for the outcome of this election to get to the House. If it DOES get to the House, we lose. Nancy Pelosi can not save us, and that is the question asked in the OP.

21. There are situations in which the House could vote

18. No one is stealing the election
