And this is why everyone thought what the SC did in Bush v Gore was unconstitutional.If the electoral college does not meet the timeline, then Congress chooses, is my understanding.Incorrect; The electoral College is the only AUTHORIZED body to do this under the US Constitution. There are date certian time lines under Title 1 US Code that codify these. They miss the deadline they lose their electors. Enjoy your mail in ballot mess because it is going to be an unmitigated disaster.I think the House of representatives picks our President, if no winner.... but here's the kicker, I think there is only 1 vote per state.... So I do not know how that works? Do state representatives get together and vote on who gets chosen for their state, then submit that person as the vote from their state?It will depend on how the rest of the election goes.
I believe the President Pro Tempore would take the office, and that would currently be Grassley. BUT, if the Congressional elections count and go Democrat, then the President Pro Tempore would be a Democrat, I reckon.
In either case, the President would be neither Trump nor Biden.
Hmm....
And this is why everyone thought what the SC did in Bush v Gore was unconstitutional. The SC should have let the constitutional process, work through.
The only people who thought that were leftist sore losers. What Gore wanted was unconstitutional.............recounts in only 4 liberal counties. A statewide recount was required, and the deadline was in place before the SC ruled. Florida couldn't recount the whole state in time.
A subsequent recount by a consortium of media outlets proved Bush had more votes, with their recount adding to his margin.
You lost, time to accept the results of the 2000 and 2016 elections.
