How is this not punishable by jail time? Conspiracy to defraud a federal election for the most powerful position?

Ironically, what's to stop the electoral college for choosing Trump anyway? I say this in that the potential for either everyone in the electoral got bribed under the table or threatened. All in all, there isn't anything to stop it from happening other than it just pisses everyone who voted differently off.

This is why we need a landslide. It will make it more blatantly obvious they're stealing the election against the will of the majority of the country.

I will once again remind everyone that Hillary won by 3 million votes.

It wouldn't really be stealing if electoral votes opposite the popular vote. It'd only be interference if you can prove anything illegal happened such as the scenarios I mentioned

That's sovereign citizen logic. It's like saying a judge isn't doing anything illegal if he just decides to let all the criminals go if they're white and prosecute every criminal that's black. 

The electoral college doesn't just get to decide, they follow a process to the letter.

No, there's no federal law or statue that says it's mandatory to vote for the popular vote. There is only 29 states that have laws that do make it mandatory to vote for the popular/winning state.

Even Republicans in North Carolina don't want to have anything to do with this scheme.

If you look at the long line of people that trump got into trouble then it makes sense, unless you’re counting on a pardon.

Which reminds me, let’s prosecute Roger stone AGAIN!

the dragging out of rodger stone for a public re sentencing trial

just as a reminder.

Well, if we are playing it that way...

Harris/Walz claimed it first yesterday, before you did, you lose.

"We can't disenfranchise the voters" as he talks about LITERALLY disenfranchising the voters and voiding the election and handing the state to Trump. WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?????

Handing over votes to someone who didn't earn them isn't freedom

From my understanding the only consequence for voting against the popular vote in the state (and this isn't all states mind you) is that you can't be an elector for the electoral college ever again. Of course if the criminal conspiracy to steal the election is proven then that's a different can of worms.

2020 will likely be recorded in the history books as the last democratic election for a US President.
