Despite the press reports, Joe Biden does not have 270 guaranteed Electors
Seven States of the US have sent alternate electors to Congress, also known as “Dueling Electors”. This keeps Electors for Donald Trump in play until January 6. Those states are Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada & New Mexico. This keeps alive the possibility that Congress can endorse Electors for Trump in those states.
In Michigan, the GOP electors were refused entry to the State Chamber. There are claims that Governor Whitmer ordered some 200 officers to guard the doorway, allegedly over “security concerns”? So at least one Democrat governor is acting as if the archiac subclause of alternate electors is still quite the threat to Biden’s election.
Phillip Kline@PhillDKline MI Attorney General is threatening legislators w criminal investigation and possible prosecution if they disagree with her, and the MI Governor and other officials are shutting down the peoples’ house and preventing them from gathering today to perform their constitutional duty.
