North Carolina tried passing laws that says they can override ANY POTUS election if they don't like the result. If that flew, our democracy would literally be out the window with state legislators deciding who is POTUS and the like.
Neal Katyal argued that case in SCOTUS today and won 6-3, denying state legislators deciding our elections.

It cannot be overstated what just how close U.S. democracy was to being hit by a mile-long meteor.
What I hate about Americans is that no one seems to get outraged until a terrible law is actually passed. Like with overturning abortion rights, Republicans will not give up on this pursuit. This won't be the last time we hear of similar initiatives by right-wingers.
@sonhouse saidThat is exactly how you feel.

You will only accept the election result if you like the result.
@sonhouse saidWith the electoral college system, we don't have democracy anyway. Not in the presidential election, anyway
@vivify
And not a frigging WORD from the ultrarightwingnuts here.
I think the operative word is 'ignored'.
I guess they are severely disappointed North Carolina didn't get it's ultrarightwingnut wishes.
@metal-brain saidYour lying again the majority of Americans accept the results of elections, they might not like the result but they accept them, it’s a large minority of the GOP and of course the Donald and his zombie followers. Most GOP members accept the result of the 2020 election regardless of what they tell pollsters.
That is exactly how you feel.
You will only accept the election result if you like the result.
@Metal-Brain
You are full of shyte yet again. An election that is fair and free is what the goal is and if an ultrarightwingnut wins a fair election so be it.
I bet you never even HEARD of Neal Katyal before I mentioned his name.
A brilliant SCOTUS lawyer, argued 50 cases before SCOTUS.
But OF COURSE you will diss him since he is not a communist like you,
@Earl-of-Trumps
So you figure it is ok for ultrarightwingnut states to pass laws allowing the state legislators to decide who wins a POTUS race.
@kevcvs57 saidYou are the liar.

Complaining day after day that Trump is an illegitimate president is not accepting the results of elections. The majority of Americans do not accept the results of elections unless their party wins.

If so, why did Hillary say Trump was an illegitimate POTUS?

@metal-brain saidLiar no one ever said that the election was rigged or defrauded in terms of votes and Hilary conceded in good time as did the democrat party em masse,
You are the liar.

Claiming that Russians interfered with the election process by the use of troll farms to swing it for trump is just stating a fact and there is no denying that members of trumps team met the Russians. Trump called on them to interfere live on stage you halfwit.
But still Hilary conceded. Trump and his fascist base still haven’t conceded.
Saying that someone isn’t MY president is not the same as claiming they are not THE president.
Can you Russians actually open your cake holes without lying?

@metal-brain saidHillary doesn't claim election fraud in that link. You obviously didn'tee listen your own video.

Unlike Trump, Hillary also conceded immediately. She also didn't organize protestors to "stop the steal" and interrupt the transfer of power. Nor did she try to fight the election results in 60 different courts, or pressure a state election official to "find" more votes for her.
@sonhouse saidWith no electoral college,. About 8 states would decide who a president would be. Why do Sonhouse, Suzy and all the rest not get that?

@averagejoe1 saidThat's false.

With no electoral college a Republican in blue state would still have their vote count; under the EC the entire state would go to a Dem even if millions of people voted Republican.
How do YOU not get that?
@vivify saidShe alleged election meddling. That is not free and fair, is it?

I never said election fraud. You are trying to move the goal post.
What do you think she meant when she called Trump an illegitimate POTUS?
What do you think the Mueller investigation was all about? Election meddling. They were investigating election meddling.
"Hillary also conceded immediately"
Because she lost and she knew it. Didn't keep her from alleging election meddling and using the Steele dossier that she funded to get a warrant to spy on Carter Page and ramp up the investigation even more.
Democrats are a bunch of hypocrites. You all want to pretend you didn't promote election meddling conspiracy theories when you did.
