    Minor correction: Trump won with less than half of registered voters, which is only 30% of eligible voters (over 18)

    2024 election results as of Jan 15, 2025 (AP News)

    77,303,573 votes (49.9%) - Trump : 23% of pop, 30% of eligible (18+), 45% of reg *

    75,019,257 votes (48.4%) - Harris : 22% of pop, 29% of eligible (18+), 44% of reg *

    337,375,114 - US Population as of Nov 6, 2024 (Census.gov)

    *note the number of registered voters is not as easy to determine as the number that voted


  • Executive Orders are not Law. The President cannot make Law only the Congress makes Law. The President must “faithfully execute” the Law.

    Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:

    The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.












  • It would be worth looking into which states have wording in their Constitutions that include “shall certify” which would make the stalling tactic a crime.

    Also, anyone who voted in a state whose electors were not sent on time would have a valid civil rights case against that state’s officials and they would all have standing because they were personally harmed. The number of potential lawsuits would be overwhelming and perhaps ruinous to anyone found guilty. Not sure that fear of that would be enough to stop them, but also they have to worry about losing their next election (though if it worked they might hope to be rewarded by the winning administration).
