#12  What if a president-elect was incapacitated after the election?
If a president-elect was to die, timing is again important.

Under the Constitution, it is electors meeting in state capitols who technically cast votes for the presidency. While some states require that they vote for the winner of the election in their state, in others they have leeway.

The CRS memo, which cites several congressional hearings on the subject, suggests it would clearly make sense for a vice president-elect to simply assume the role of president-elect, but the law itself is murky.

Under the 20th Amendment, if a president-elect dies, his or her running mate, the vice president-elect, becomes president.

There could be some question, for instance, about when exactly a person becomes president-elect. Is it after the electors meet in December, or after Congress meets to count Electoral College votes on January 6?

#11  Nobody seems to be claiming that the Republicans cheated their way into the White House.

Actually, there are a lot of claims on X - mostly complaining about the 20M votes from 2020 which 'disappeared'. They can't comprehend that the 20M were fraudulent votes they could not get away with this time.

#10  I think Hostin has it exactly wrong. We gave a senile man and his dim-witted sidekick a chance to run the country. If their economic policy had worked, Biden would be stumbling up the stairs for a second term.

#9  Meghan McCain rips 'The View' for liberal bias as co-host lashes out at voters over Trump victory

Something intelligent from 'the View':
'I think it had nothing to do with policy. I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country,' Sunny Hostin said



I can see clearly now, the reign has gone.

#7   Half the country won't accept this result.

I think it’s more complicated than that, Angstrom. Nobody seems to be claiming that the Republicans cheated their way into the White House. They’re just appalled that the country they loved has a majority of deplorable racist garbage Nazis who somehow figured out how to vote.

#4  1. We still need to fix voting.
2. Half the country won't accept this result. That's a problem.
3. God help us if the Dems ever run someone who isn't universally disliked.

#1  I just had a delicious thought. There's a meme leftards could use to attack Trump - but never will: "He only wins against girls!".
