Can't the Florida House dismiss election results?

[zanana]

I remember in 2000, the Republicans were all set to overturn the election results if the recount indicated Gore was the winner. According to the Florida law, the electoral college laws allowed the Fla. House of Reps. to pick new delegates, even after the election. Does anyone remember this more clearly?

1. actually, it is up to the states to pick and certify their delegates

however they want, I would wager most states have a never used loophole letting the legislature overrule the popular vote, you know in case one of them black fellas won or something.

2. each state can seat whoever they want

and however they want to seat them. so Yes. they could completly ignore the vote and just throw their electoral votes to Voldemort.

5. Florida is almost completely under Republican control

If you are a Democrat in Florida, you have little if any representation. See:

I want to know where the hell is the anger about this?

6. the anger will happen

after it happens.. and then it will be too late, so it will be another one of those "get over it" times.
