Leadership has a potent arsenal to combat efforts to turn the electoral vote counting session on Jan. 6 into a spectacle — if they deploy it.

President Donald Trump’s last-gasp bid to overturn his 2020 election defeat appears doomed on Jan. 6, when Congress is set to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
But the byzantine process by which Congress counts and validates the Electoral College results has left gnawing uncertainty about precisely how the final act in Trump’s undemocratic drama will play out.

The law that guides the proceedings, the Electoral Count Act — passed in 1887 to address the disastrous election of 1876 — is vaguely written and full of gaps that have perplexed constitutional scholars for a century. Now, Trump and his allies are working to exploit those gaps to try to muscle their way to a second term.

================================================================================
There's little doubt that Biden will be certified as president by the end of the day on Jan. 6 or in the wee hours of Jan. 7, but Trump's allies could cast a cloud over the process — grinding it to a halt, attempting to force votes on alternate slates of Trump-supporting electors and raising untold objections to the proceedings that could disrupt the traditionally ceremonial event.

Trump really wants to become a dictator.

YES he does want to be either the Dictator OR KING
This shows us that Trump has be able to do to this country in 5 years what the Russians have been trying to do for over 70 years.
Get the people of the US to question our form of government and how we choose our government representatives.
He has sown the idea that our electoral system is corrupt, and is full of fraud and can not be secure and trusted just as the Russians have been trying to do , They inadvertently have gotten Trump to do it for them and he has been very successful.
It was intentional on his part but inadvertently on theirs, Trump was just an unknowing pulpit on their part and they worked him well.
Yes Trump started telling the lie that the 2016 election was " Rigged " before it was even held and then kept telling the same lie over and over till enough of his low IQ followers started to believe it , and now we have all this questioning of our governmental system and how we select our representatives
YES Trump has done in 5 years what the Russians have been trying to do for over 70 Years
Thank you Comrade Trump
Have a nice afternoon Comrades
