  1. Yeah, each state votes in one block for God knows what reason. GOP would be guaranteed to win unless somebody had a conscience and crossed party lines (lol)
  2. A lot of people are saying that ranked choice measure could be a pretty big deal, because it could give Murkowski more cover to cross party lines more since she wouldn't be going through a traditional primary.
  3. This is what the 12th amendment says, So, yeah, you might be right in this case since those states wouldn't end up appointing electors, I dunno. It is true, though, that it doesn't specifically say it's only in the case of a tie. If a third party ever won, like, Alaska, and the vote finished 269-266-3 then the election would go to the House because nobody had 270.
  4. If neither candidate gets 270 then it goes to the House no matter what, I think. That's the whole idea behind this plan, such as it is, just try and get Biden below 270.
  5. Yeah, there's a statewide canvassing board that it goes to now for a vote instead, and everyone on Twitter is already like, "Well, don't worry the canvassing board will just approve it then," but... I'm done assuming anything at this point, personally. But apparently the next step after THAT is it would go the courts, so as long as judges keep telling Republicans to eat shit in these cases, they can't actually steal the state.
  6. Apparently there was an imbalance of like 100 votes when they did an audit and the Republicans are saying that they can't certify the results based on that, but people who cover this stuff regularly say that that kind of an imbalance is typical and if everyone was acting in good faith wouldn't hold this up at all unless there was a recount.
  7. Yeah, I just got back from grocery shopping as well, and toilet paper is back to limit 1 per customer again.
  8. Is Twitter just gonna stick with these "this claim about election fraud is disputed" warnings indefinitely? Once all of these states have had their results certified are they going to be merely "disputed"? What would it take to get to, "this claim about election fraud is complete horseshit"?
  9. Minnesota GOP sent virus alert only to its side of the aisle WWW.STARTRIBUNE.COM Senate Minority Leader Susan Kent says DFLers were not warned of cases among GOP colleagues before Thursday's floor session.
  10. I appreciate him putting the thin blue line flag in there, just to remove any remaining doubt about what it actually stands for.
  11. Jesus Christ, that entire Alito thread is terrifying. Win both GA races, somehow, and then pack SCOTUS with as many judges as it takes to make this dude's opinion no longer matter even slightly.
  12. I'm honestly not ready to fully believe any of these anonymously sourced stories about what's going on within the White House right now, and whether or not Trump knows he's lost, because there's like 30 different conflicting versions at this point.
