On X, political commentator Ed Krassenstein, a frequent Trump critic, commented on the change of opinion about polling numbers among the former president’s supporters.
“MAGA is breaking down. They are back to calling the polls fake just because they don’t reflect what they want them to say,” Krassenstein wrote. “It’s funny how they touted the polls when Trump was up.”
The electoral system? (Each state is supposed to get a number of votes based on their population)
If the election is contested, then there are “backup” protocols that are different than than the normal electoral college. I don’t recall if the “backup” protocol was a simple vote in the House of Representatives, or that each state gets a single vote. Trump kinda tried last time but didn’t have the support.
If a states count is contested, it’s voted on by the house on if the count goes back to the state and redone. If the numbers aren’t ratified by the deadline, the backup is the chain of succession until it is ratified. This means that the house speaker is acting president until they finalize the winner.
Great, Mike Johnson.
I stopped following the musical chairs for my own mental health. Is that who was settled on?
Yes, current GOP speaker of the house. He’s a nutjob but has been reaching across to the Dems so the maga Reps don’t get to shut everything down.
So while a nut job, his number one goal isn’t to own the libs and shut down the gov. Small favors
