"While the electoral votes cast Monday put Donald Trump another step closer to officially becoming the next U.S. president, the Republican businessman-turned-politician must jump through one more legal hoop on Jan. 6: the tabulation and review of Electoral College votes during a joint session of Congress.
Although it’s never been done before, Democrats could employ an obscure 1887 law during the process in a last-ditch effort to stop Trump from taking the oath of office.
The law, 3 U.S. Code section 15, allows for a challenge to electoral votes — either on an individual basis or statewide — if one member of the House and one member of the Senate submit a letter asserting that votes were not “regularly given.” From there, a win for Hillary Clinton is theoretically possible, although it’s almost certainly not going to happen.
“You’ve got to be honest and say there’s a huge amount of uncertainty in this,” said Ohio State law professor Edward Foley, whose book “Ballot Battles,” about the history of disputed elections, came out earlier this year. “It is the most convoluted law, and Congress knew at the time they wrote it that it didn’t make any sense, but it was a compromise.”
After a representative and senator file their objection, both chambers meet separately for two hours to deliberate. For example, two Democrats, one from each body, could file an objection about Pennsylvania’s electoral votes cast for Trump and cite Russia’s interference in the election."

Enough Faggot - even the Democrats aren't stupid enough to do that if they want to be re-elected.
Michael Morales
Jesus christ give it up already.
Noah Parker
Hang it up cuck, CTR is gone now. You are no longer getting paid for shitposting.
Kevin Long
lol, I hope they do
they are showing how weak and pathetic they are
Dylan Green
And a few months from now the new story will be "ok, so the recount failed, the electoral votes went to Trump, and the obscure 1887 law failed...but here's how Democrats are planning to stop Trump!"
Cameron Ortiz
I think she'd have better luck pushing Donald down some stairs.

I just want this to happen for the laffs desu

The left wears desperation like its going out of style.
Wyatt Morales
nov 1, all I remember is the entire lame stream media reporting how horrible it would be if trump contested the results of the election and didn't immediately concede.
Somehow Hillary doing exactly this hasn't been questioned.
Mason Hughes

Blake Gray
Eww fuck no, even if they did do that give it to Sanders pls God of Kek

2018
75 Republican Senators and 450 Congressmen declare war on Mexico.

Baja California becomes US protectorate.
Grayson Bennett
W-we need our undocumented votes, shitlord!!
Lucas Rogers
If Trump had done it then it would have been an attack on our democracy (ignore the fact that we aren't a democracy).
When Hillary does it she is trying to save our democracy(ignore the fact that she is trying to save something that doesn't exist).
Brayden Kelly
I am OP here -- I was totally joking and being 100% sarcastic. I freaking cant stand her...just wanted to mock these people.
Sorry for upsetting anyone. Hellary is a pathetic bitch and a fucking loser beyond imagination

They really are forcing it through every technicality.
Jace Reyes
It's a bit of an unfair characterization to say 'she is contesting it'. Maybe you could argue that she is privately agitating some of it but as far as her own statements she has clearly communicated that she accepts the result.
Justin Johnson
America First!
Camden Smith
The more stuff she does is stuff that Republicans can do the next time Democrats win!
Zachary Thompson
My God.....give it a rest you losers. Didn't all of you never-Trump people, including Obama, totally bitch about Trump saying he would only accept the outcome if he was the winner after the third debate? Wasn't it all "don't try to threaten the legitimacy of our elections and the peaceful transition of power" back when Hillary was just "certain to win"? Fucking liberals, man.
Gabriel Perry
This
It's now just sad at this point
Mason Lopez
delicious liberal tears

Genuinely hope they do this. It'll show the world the elites are not willing to let someone who's not in the club to power

Joshua Hall
>It's a bit of an unfair characterization to say 'she is contesting it'.
So what? If there had been 40 faithless Trump electors that defected to Hillary's side she would have turned down the offer to be president?
Who is Martin Sheen schilling for? Is he trying to get elected?
William King
Could liberals possibly be the ones so desperate they invent time travel?
Luke Campbell
This. Or by giving him some pretzels and praying he will choke on them eventually
Carson Hall
Yeah, these guys will be increasingly nervous all the way up until Trump retires after 8 years.
What a fucking circus.

This is why when you break up with someone you need to be clear and brutally honest so there is nothing left to do but grieve and move on.
She's the psycho ex who just won't accept you don't want her. This is the drunk, crying and begging text phase.

Thing is she's not even the one behind all this, at least not openly. For as much a harridan bitch as she is there's something to be said of the fact that her supporters are so much worse.

Wyatt Bailey

Brody Howard
We'd have to purge the heretics first.
Kayden Evans
means votes were influenced or that the person voting is not the designated electorate voter.
Liam Johnson
shit, their last stage is 'if I cant have you, nobody can!'
Thomas Cooper
I like that source.
Isaac Butler
This is great.
Because we get to see liberals lose their shit every ten days or so. They get their hopes up and BAM.
Jace Morales
so they want to claim that russia influenced the vote?

Me too!
We've won this election THREE TIMES ALREADY when the Hill Shills said we'd SURELY lose! >Election Day >Recounts >Electoral College
This rise and fall is going to mentally break most liberals, they will be mush / pudding brained by the time the media's given over to Trump as per the 2013 NDAA.

this has to be some kind of 4d chess move by trump so far...
With democrats fighting him every step of the way, there is not even an illusion in trumps presidency that he has to make any concessions or "meet half-way" with the democrats since they are burning through any and all generosity the victor might have.
Benjamin Martin
We are a democracy. A republic is a democracy. We aren't a direct democracy, but absolutely no one means that colloquially when they say democracy.

Why the fuck would you upset anyone on Sup Forums? It's just commentary on how obnoxious this is.
Adrian Anderson
i just realized that if Trump really deports 5 or 6 million (or more) undocumented illegals the USA will be Republican for at least 4 decades
this is guaranteed liberal butthurt for at least half of the rest my life

Guys we can still stop Trump. There's a 90 second gap on Jan 3 when the House can be considered by voice quorum of 13 to be temporarily in session. This happens between 11:59 and 12:00.30 am only due to a quirk of rounding in the COBOL-based time-keeping system the House commissioned in the 1970s. What happens next is this: Al Gore takes the gavel across the street (using his rights as an ex-VP) where it is then declared "deemed lost" by the Minority Leader. A new gavel is immediately produced (as this was pre-arranged) and hammered into the podium by Pelosi. This gavel will then be challenged as it (by design) does not meet the constitutional tolerances laid out in Article 19. This renders all 2017 business null and void until a new constitutionally valid gavel can be commissioned, which given government procurement regulations, will take 6-8 months. In the meantime, the DC Park Police can be ordered to quarantine and cloister the entire US Senate under a little-known provision of the Endangered Species Act.

I don't even understand why the election is still going ahead, to be honest. The CIA and FBI both agree that Russia, NOT American voters, determined the outcome of the election using electronic hacks. So why isn't everything grinding to an alt?
