...and Stephen Miller's name enters the "alternate elector slate" story 12/2020

The story below is from December 14, 2020


[link:https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/530092-stephen-miller-alternate-electors-will-keep-trump-challenge-alive-post|


"As we speak, today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we're going to send those results up to Congress," he continued. "This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open. That means that if we win these cases in the courts, that we can direct that the alternate state of electors be certified."


Stephen Miller on Fox & Friends says "an alternative" group of electors is also voting today:

"As we speak, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we are going to send those results to Congress."

Electors from every state will meet on Monday to formally elect Biden as the next president. Those results will be certified by the states and submitted to Congress.


Miller indicated that Trump supporters will act as "alternates" in a handful of contested states, including Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, to submit their own, unofficial results. Should the Trump campaign succeed in overturning the outcome in any of those states, Miller said, the alternate electors could then be recognized by Congress.

Nothing in the Constitution or state electoral processes allows for such an "alternate" slate of electors.

Miller also raised the idea of state legislatures stepping in to overturn the results or of Congress interceding.

it seems to me that numerous people were involved or knew about the phony elector's scheme, all the more people to get one or two to flip.

Someone should confiscate John Eastman's and Jeffrey Clarke's passports.

Yeah, and they were all blabbing about it.

Did no one in Congress see this possibility and take measures to harden the "target" of the ballots in the Capitol?

This doesn't surprise me that he was involved in the forged electoral documents. Those are about his speed and modus operandi. He needs to be in prison. I'm sure many of what he has pulled would justify that action. What an evil person.

Your pig lost the race. It was 2 years ago.

Will no one rid us of this troublesome demon?
