  "Ha ha, well we sure will see, won't we!?"
  Yours sincerely, the Electoral College
  I'm not trying to let perfect be the enemy of good here, just pointing out that while this was a necessity, our system is still very broken in other ways.
context: Eighteen Senate Republicans rebuked former President Trump this week by voting to clarify that the vice president does not have the power to overturn a presidential election as Trump pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to do on Jan. 6, 2021.  
  
  Only eighteen out of fifty?
  That sure says a lot about the state of the republican party. So much for their claims of supporting the Constitution. >
  
  Thats what I took out of this... though to be fair it is part of a larger bill and not a single-issue vote. >
  
  
  to be fair it is part of a larger bill and not a single-issue vote.
  
  Thing is if this was part of its own singular bill even less Republicans would have voted for it. >
  
  “What I don’t like are the lies and ‘disinformation’ put out by the Democrats and RINOs. They said the vice president has ‘absolutely no choice,’ it was carved in ‘steel,’ but if he has no choice, why are they changing the law saying he has no choice?” Trump posted. 
  Romney countered Trump by pointing out that argument would give Democrats, who now control the White House, the right to block a Republican from becoming president.  Did he say, "moron..." under his breath after saying that? >
  
  Trump in a post on Truth Social Tuesday argued it is “probably better to leave” the Electoral Count Act “the way it is so that it can be adjusted in case of fraud.”  
  Uh yeah, dumbass, that’s exactly why they are “adjusting” it. We now have a case of attempted fraud. Yours. 
  Wouldn’t it be great if they’d just shitcan the whole electoral college thing? >
  
  They already did - got rid of the actual voters, that is. Now the States no longer pick Electoral College voters, they pick the Electoral College outcome. That is definitely not in the Constitution, but the SC (both sides) don’t give a shit. >
  
  Are you talking about Moore vs Harper? That hasn't been decided yet, their arguments aren't due until sometime in this summer. >
  
  Nope, I’m talking about the ruling that EC members must vote as dictated to them by their states. The EC was specifically created to Prevent election of a demagogue, and it failed spectacularly because of this. >
  
  ah, gottcha. >
  
  got his ass >
  
  Gee - took you long enough to realize he is a cancer on the world. Only because he was such a big LOSER in the Congressional races did it finally click - otherwise you were fine with his racist crimey insurrectionist schemes. >
  
  The GOP totally went along with this because they already know Moore vs Harper will let their legislators vote to overrule the will of the voters in swing states they have gerrymandered. As always the Dems walked right into a trap. >
  
  How would it have helped Dems to keep the law as-was? >
  
  The vice president never had the power to overturn it. This is a law that is pointless and just for show, it doenst change anything >
  
  It raises the threshold by which elections can be objected to. That's a good thing. >
  
  This is a huge loss for the Democrats it means Kamala Harris won't be able to pick the next president >
  
  The American people will though.
