So to catch you up, a lefty made the assertion that:
I still haven’t seen any proof of the 2020 election being stolen. All I’ve seen is unproven, anecdotal talking points.
Someone else came in and said:
I support Desantis too, but let’s not overdo it. The laws that were illegally changed, drop boxes, illegal ballot harvesting, ballot dumps. Yes, it has all happened and documented.
The original lefty then said:
The drop boxes were legal. The laws were changed based on emergency protocols dictated by the Trump administration. Yet nobody (including Trump’s attorneys) have been able to prove to me that there was real mass voter fraud, & every one of them have come out & said there wasn’t & admitted they LIED.
That’s where I felt the need to jump in:
Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors.” The legislature- no one else. Any other means is not legal. There is nothing there about “emergencies”
The moron lefty then says that the use of the word ‘may’ in the phrase “as the Legislature may direct” means that other agencies of the government can change the rules for selecting electors as they see fit.
The Election Clauses found in Articles I and II of the United States Constitution limit the authority of state administrative agents to develop rules for federal elections — both congressional and presidential. These two Clauses prohibit non-legislative agents from adding to, changing, or contradicting legislatively enacted rules. The Clauses leave some room for non-legislative agents, but only if a State Legislature has clearly delegated regulatory power to them.
(Brown, 2008)
Or you can try this one:
Article II’s Presidential Electors Clause, however, confer authority to regulate federal elections specifically upon State “legislatures,” rather than granting it to States as a whole. An intratextual analysis of the Constitution reveals that the term “legislature” is best understood as referring solely to the entity within each state comprised of representatives that has the general authority to pass laws.
(Morley, 2015)
Then there are also SCOTUS cases, including McPherson v. Blacker, where the court ruled that a state’s legislature may delegate its authority to select Presidential electors, but must do so through a legislative act. Before that case, most state legislatures selected their Presidential electors directly.
In short, there are administrative agencies that can select electors, but the procedure must be done in accordance with the instructions and limitations put in place by that state’s legislature. There are no states that I am aware of that permitted the use of unstaffed drop boxes, or those maintained by third parties. The fact that election committees carried out policies and procedures without following the direction of the legislatures means that any votes cast by those rules are unconstitutional.
Of course, we will never know because not one case arising from the 2020 election was decided on evidence or merit, because every one of them was dismissed on procedural grounds.
I can guarantee you that the next election will face similar shenanigans. It’s as if there is a nationwide conspiracy that is taking its direction from a central committee. There is no reason at this point to believe that the events and shenanigans from the last election will be any different.
So to those of you on the right who are busy arguing over whether Trump or DeSantis would be the better candidate- do you really think that it will matter, knowing that the left will ensure a win for their candidate no matter what?

Well said.
I’ve repeatedly pointed out that as long as the Dominion voting machines are in place, mail-in voting occurs, and the Soros DAs & Judges exist to deny voting fraud cases, elections will be decided by the Uniparty & swamp.
Or as stated by Stalin, “it doesn’t matter how you vote, it only matters who counts the votes.”

Election? What a quaint concept. We have passed that phase a few years ago and are now at selection, as TPTB have desired for oh so many years. Matters little the letters after the name; R,D,I, they’re all the same these days.
As George Carlin stated; I’s a big club but you ain’t in it. So eat whatever bugs you can catch outside your yurt and quit sniveling. Or grow a pair and stick a thumb in their eye. The choice is looming, sooner than you might think.

I learned a new thing today: Sea Lioning.
Sea lioning is a trolling or harassment tactic commonly deployed in online discussions and blogs. It involves the attacker asking relentless and insincere questions or requests for evidence under the guise of civility and a desire for genuine debate. These requests are often tangential or previously addressed, and when well deployed the attacker maintains a pretense of civility and sincerity, while feigning ignorance of the subject matter. Sea lioning is aimed at exhausting the patience and goodwill of the target, making them appear unreasonable.
Who knew?
