I don't know what the procedures are in this situation. Do they hold a special election or the Republicans appoint a stand-in until an election? This is a safe R seat so don't expect any flips if there is any kind of re-election for the seat. https://apnews.com/article/health-monroe-louisiana-coronavirus-pandemic-shreveport-c76bcda2e5abd46a500763ed5a7e3440?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP | ||

A friend of mine has family working in an office with a Trumper anti-masking asshole, who purposely went around coughing on everyone in their building. Turned out his stupid ass was positive for COVID. Now they're all exposed. If it wasn't in vogue for Republicans to be weaponizing a pandemic this shit wouldn't happen. What a c... Doesn't one get fired from anywhere at all for behaving like that? | ||

I think someone in NJ got charged with terrorism for doing this, I’m pretty sure it’s not legal. Best case scenario it has to count towards a battery charge right? | ||

Each states result must individually be objected to and both House and Senate must separately agree by majority vote to not count the objected votes. There is no vote to certify. The elector votes are counted up and if there is a majority that its it, done deal. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL32717.pdf This is theatrics and time-wasting with no chance of getting anywhere. Personally I would charge em with treason and throw the book at them but hey, we live in an imperfect world. | ||
