There’s no “social conscience”
More like “socially unconscious”
And if he loses, get ready for an endless stream of lawsuits and other attempts to discredit the election and stay in power.
I read an excellent article about “what happens if the election ISNT settled byt Jan 20?”
Sure theres a law about who is supposed to succeed (the speaker) BUT what if all the results are contested
There may BE no speaker who has been elected by the house
And then ? ick … the senate ? Mitch Mcconnell ??? ick !
Its a decent read and really does highlight some of the possible issues with the 2020 election
That article isn’t exactly correct. Members of the House of Representatives are elected by the state they represent so, unless challenged at the state level, their elections are not easily derailed. Since they are sworn in by the Dean (the longest serving member of the body) all it takes if for one incumbent to be re-elected and the entire body can be sworn in.
As for their effect on the Presidency, unless one party sweeps the super-majority in both houses of Congress, I doubt they’d be able to pass any law changing the path to the Presidency. Therefore, if the presidential portion is undecided, the Speaker of the House would take over until the new President is declared.
One possible issue would be if the newly sworn-in House couldn’t elect a new Speaker in time. But since the Speaker is effectively chosen by the majority party, it is very unlikely that would happen while the presidential election is undecided.
Furthermore, many states are capable of handling mail-in voting and have been doing it for years so while some places may have issues, others won’t. Add to that the fact that there will still be a lot of in-person voting and I don’t see congressional elections having too many issues.
I enjoyed the article as it was more thought provoking than completely right.
If litigation should ensue at many levels (local, state & federal) then it seems plausible to me that there could be many elections undecided for a long period of time.
Whether that could cause the House to be unable to elect a new speaker I have no idea.
It seems highly implausible but after Trumps win in 2016 I wouldnt say impossible to most things to do with elections any more 
I agree that there are lots o states that can and will have few, if any, issues with large mail in ballot volumes. Some will be overwhelmed as they are not and have not prepared for it very well.
Lets just say that it will be interesting right up to the moment a new president elect is done taking his oath
As I’ve mentioned before my wife works part time for the Registar of Voter here in San Diego. They were told that in elections previous to this one California routinely processed 75% of ballots as mail-in… so they have the procedures to up the count to 100% if necessary. And State law requires that all election processes (counts, validation etc) be complete no later than 30 after the election (ie. Dec 4th 2020)
Yeah there are some states I have no doubt can handle it
Others though ?
And if there’s litigation about the election gawd help us the USA - Gore v Bush 2000 anyone ?
This would be worse because Trump would fight it all the way. He would not give up like Gore did. No way will he admit defeat.
That, unfortunately, IS my point
Its going to be litigated - you can almost be 100% certain of that, if he doesnt win
And if he does lord help you all down there
If he wins, we may be moving north. And I’m only half joking there.
Assuming they take you … 
… Americans are nowhere near as liked as they think they are … 
Norman has plenty of room I’m sure…
Whaaaaaaaatttttttt ???
< kidding >
knowing damned well that americans grab canadian flags and pins to put them on their backpacks etc to go travel about the world 
This whole trump business is hard to watch from here
Like watching you’re best friend become a drug addict and ending up homeless on the street
You can try and help and advise & such but you can force them to do anything
Not until it gets so bad they literally cant take care of themselves any more
I was going to post yesterday that the UK is not far behind in the slide to a cleptocracy (with billions given to companies without tender on secret contracts, posts given on „loyalty to the PM“ and not ability or even merit [„failing“Grayling, Williamson, Patel, etc), when I just saw this:
Fox style „news“ … 
Fox Style News was Roger Ailes dream way back when Nixon was being impeached
Apparently he said that IF there had been a news organization that could have been Pro-Nixon (not this fair & balanced thing) Nixon would never have been impeached
40 years later with fox news …
You cant tell me you’re surprised at this sort of recommendation from Stone ?
The two idiots certainly seem to be gunning to start another civil war
If we thought the last 3.x years were nasty you aint seen nothing yet
Surprised? No. Why do you think I started this thread? For me it was plain to see.
The same is happening in the UK - not yet on the same scale, but it’s getting there, the cleptocracy is in full swing. I do wonder if Garry still “likes” Boris though …
