This has the odor of a conspiracy.

So far I haven't heard any state, other than Georgia, succumbing to pressure from the Trump campaign to refuse to certify. The objective, of course, is to make sure neither candidate reaches the 270 mark, thus throwing the decision to the House of Representatives for a continent vote ~ One vote per state.

Trump has a habit of judging other people by his own standards. It would be a terrible black eye for America if State Election Boards followed Georgia's example.

'Racist Fecking Trunts...'

I'm sorry, but no other
moniker fits as well.

Of course they are. The GOP doesn't care about what the voters want. They only care about what they can get from the 1%.

Republicans hate democracy.

Wait. These people are saying that they cannot run a free and fair election, yet they keep their jobs as election officials? Isn't that tantamount to stealing their pay and admitting their incompetence? If so, why should their claims be believed from here to the door? Asking for a Democracy...

"This has the odor of a conspiracy."

Strategizing or coordinating to undermine an election is definitely a conspiracy.

And that's a shame. Because it should be thrown to the popular vote. ..will of the people and all.

The Electoral College should be eliminated.

You sound like the Buffoon pontificating about the non-existent things he's heard.

Similar to the non-existent memory of the DR.

From a couple weeks ago, No, Officials Can't Block Certification of Results

The first post, Informative article. Won't slow down the "chicken littles."

And here we are, clucking about the sky falling.

The most salient quote from an article posted within the reference thread, No effort to block certification thus far has been successful. Each time that local officials have tried, they have been either forced to certify by a court, outvoted by their fellow commissioners or reversed course. Few have faced any consequence, with two notable exceptions. (emphasis mine)

Now, once again, go brush up on the legal definitions of "ministerial" and "discretionary" governmental functions.
