In the case of Nixon both slates were sent through signed by the same governor there's no comparison here.
yeah your turn to cite, and there's comparison either way, pretending there's no precedent is just silly

the fact remains it is not politically palatable for Pence to act and therefor he was never going to, anyone who believed differently needs a reality check

one official slate, one unofficial, he chose the unofficial slate

exactly the same scenario with multiple states in this election except the pressure is on to just go with the official electors
Still, there’s an obvious difference — the outcome of the Hawaii election was actually unclear when the rival slates were appointed. Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes, and every court challenge the Trump campaign and its allies filed to contest has failed. Hawaii’s governor ended up sending both slates of electors to Congress. Pennsylvania’s governor is only sending Biden’s.
Furthermore,
Under federal law, if there’s a tie between the two chambers of Congress, the slates sent by governors will be declared the winner. That’s the ultimate guarantee the pro-Trump slates will lose because none were endorsed by governors on Monday.

See @ForceFate post.

The argument here really is whether Pence could dismiss a slate, not whether he could choose between two slates. There's precedent in choosing between two slates, there's no precedent in the VP unilaterally dismissing a slate in favour of nothing.

still no citation, the AP article mentions only one official slate, if you claim there were two then provide the citation

When Congress met to count the electoral votes on January 6, 1961, it
had before it three certificates from Hawaii. The first was the
certificate of the Republican electors dated December 19 accompanied by
the November 28 certificate of the Acting Governor of Hawaii that the
electors had been appointed as a result of the November election.

The second was the certificate of the Democratic electors dated
December 19, 1960 casting their votes for John Kennedy.
The third certificate was from the Republican Governor of Hawaii
dated January 4, 1961
certifying that the Democratic electors had been
elected ``agreeably to the provision of the laws of the said State, and
in conformity with the Constitution and the laws of the United States''
as ``ascertained by judgment of the Circuit Court.'' The Governor
annexed a copy of the court's decision to the certificate of election.

Do Trump supporters usually dress in all black, cover their faces and wear helmets with Trump stickers on and walk around with tools to smash windows? :unsure:
I have been hearing that one of them was hunter and other one was hillary's son. Not sure if true though but anything is possible.

If things continue the way they are going, the delusional left will soon finally be forced to acknowledge that it was never about "left vs right" or Trump, but about the people who value their country and their freedom.

Anyone who doesn't support the people and their freedom is not on their side. That goes for all the Republicans who don't stand up for the people, and even Trump if he allows the peoples rights to be infringed.
Typical Mybb libtard binary views:

- Left = angels, can do no wrong
vs
- Right = Throw in everything bad + a bath & zinc for good measure.


Then life slaps them on the ass.

Said it before, and I'll say it again, the GOP will always be screaming the hardest about "a" being done to them while they are doing "A" to the Nth degree, to the people they are accusing in the first place.

And they will go out of their way to point fingers away from them while doing so.

There were probably quite a few white supremacists in the mix, likely also the loudest of the lot, but mostly when looking at the pictures of the people in Pelosi's office, or on the floor posing with things, it looked more like extras from the US version of Shamelss broke in.

I'm just sayin Trump supporters don't usually wear helmets with handwritten Trump labels like "medics" who wear similar medic helmets then they go around shooting and burning stuff

Not the point.
They still shouldn't have done the petty things we expect from Antifa and BLM.
All this did was hurt their image severely. Nothing was gained.
Trump supporters can't do what leftists can do. The media will never allow it.
Trump supporters should've thought about that.
Yup, you don't beat leftists by playing their own games.

You beat leftists by using helicopters and gravity.
