I think the practice is and was that the electors meet in their states’ capitals, and those results are mailed to Washington.

Then each governor needs to call out their respective National Guard unit to confront the militia morons.

Well, armed nuts at polling places or at county recorder’s offices is why I plan to vote early. I doubt the cammo army will be welcome in that office for a month.

That’s disturbing

Waiting for a full count of the voting is not like waiting for a quarter pounder with cheese.

Actually it’s not.

Good to know various scenarios are being gamed out.

tRump cannot shut his yap…so be thankful he can be gamed ahead of the election.

There’s a bottleneck at polling places in Saint Louis Park, MN. Just this morning I was looking into volunteering to be poll worker on election day in November, having just read in the New York Times that the usual contigent of volunteers is mainly 61 and up and at higher risk for getting COVID-19. So this is what I find online:

We are currently only seeking workers who affiliate with the following parties: Grassroots Legalize Cannabis, Legal Marijuana Now and Republican Party of Minnesota. This is to ensure party balance at each precinct and to be in compliance with state law. Learn more about party balance by viewing the election workers FAQs.

Michigan SoS Jocelyn Benson: “We’ve asked the legislature to make changes to the law to give us more ability to be prepared and count those ballots more efficiently. They have not acted for reasons that I don’t fully, completely understand.”

You understand Jocelyn but do not want to say it out publicly. Take your pick:

  1. The Republican majority Michigan House does not want the voting system to work so that they can nullify the people’s vote and have the the state legislatures or the House of Representatives select Trump.
  2. Because you are a Democrat, the House will not give you what you want.

The implication would appear to be that they have more Democratic volunteers than they need, which is actually pretty damned cool and another sign of an impending tsunami of Austinian proportions… :wink:
