@shavixmir saidBOTH your links a leftist propaganda sites.
Well, since you're not very forth coming on this issue, I did indeed take a nose dive into it.
And, oh, I wish I hadn't. What a pile of filth I have uncovered. Here's two sites I read:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/27/us/politics/fake-electors-explained-trump-jan-6.html
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/08/07/fake-electors-trump-indictment/
That's quite the scam. And you're defending this? Really?
This site also leans left

@mott-the-hoople saidSo, here's where you explain to me then, who these alternate electors are, what their role is and in which circumstances they can be used.

@mott-the-hoople saidBy "never" you mean "6 minutes after you posted about it": https://www.redhotpawn.com/forum/debates/is-mike-pence-too-honest.197562
geez…imagine if you had a court case claiming a rigged election but you didnt have the correct winners electors.
alternate electors are not new, as much as the left media pushes it, dont be so stupid.
You never did answer why a special law was passed AFTER this.
The conspirators knew their plan to replace the duly elected Electors with the fake ones was illegal:
" Also on January 4, when Co-Conspirator2 acknowledged to the Defendant's Senior Advisor that no court would support his proposal, the Senior Advisor told Co-Conspirator 2, “[Ylou're going to cause riots in the streets.” Co-Conspirator 2 responded that there had previously been points in the nation’s history where violence was necessary to protect the republic. After that conversation, the Senior Advisor notified the Defendant that Co-Conspirator 2 had conceded that his plan was “not going to work.”
95. On the moming of January S, at the Defendant's direction, the Vice President's Chief of Staff and the Vice President's Counsel met again with Co-Conspirator 2. Co- ‘Conspirator 2 now advocated that the Vice President do what the Defendant had said he preferred the day before: unilaterally reject electors from the targeted states. During this meeting, Co- Conspirator 2 privately acknowledged to the Vice President’s Counsel that he hoped to prevent judicial review of his proposal because he understood that it would be unanimously rejected by the Supreme Court."

@mott-the-hoople saidWhy was the law changed? Because you have a right to your own opinions, but not to alternative facts (or alternate electors).
alternate electors have legal precedent,
why do you think the law was changed AFTER the 2020 election?

@mott-the-hoople saidJesus Christ, I told you 6 MINUTES after you first posted that question:
wow, no one can tell me why the law was changed. π³
"To clarify so that no one would ever make such a crackpot argument again.
The idea that the Framers would leave the VP as the sole judge of the electors in his own election is preposterous."

Why do you think think Trump's own lawyer knew "no court" would accept that argument and that the SCOTUS (with a right wing majority) would reject it unanimously?

@no1marauder saidand you still havent answered why a new law was created π³

@no1marauder saidWell, since I just declared myself a valid elector for 2024, I guess I'll be getting a no-knock visit from the FBI any day now.
Geez, imagine if the Vice-President of the United States, who was overseeing the certification and counting of the Electoral College ballots had declared "we'll count the fake electors votes not the votes of the ones duly elected, qualified and certified by their respective States".
What would have happened then?
It's important to think about what would happen if I'm not stopped.

@wildgrass saidFake electors showed up at the electoral college and tried to vote?
Tempers actually did flare that day. No need to imagine.
I thought I was fairly up to date, but I missed that. Can you share a link?
Was congress confused about which to count?
@techsouth saidIt’s not that simple

You have to gather enough coconspirators and gather in secret in a side room of a state capitol bldg where you all sign the fake / alternative electors declaration certificates and the wait for the potus to send a mob to the national capital bldg in order to force the vice president to ignore his oath of office and reject the legitimate electors thus enabling you to pretend to be the legitimate electors and consequently steal the election and disenfranchise the US electorate
@kevcvs57 saidBut the key is that I have to really really hope that the VP will violate her oath?

I hereby request that Kamala Harris ignore the ostensible valid elector and let me vote in that person's place. I really, really hope she ignores her oath.
And if a mob shows up, obviously congress have to hasten the process and vote immediately rather than wait for a more safe time to conduct the electoral college vote. They only had 14 days before inauguration. If a mob was in the room with them at the designated hour, they'd have no choice but to vote right then.
While I'm at it, I'm going to get my old high school friend to "conspire" with me by helping me to hope it goes my way.
NOW. I await the no-knock raid from the FBI. (Don't forget, I'm really, really hoping that the VP and congress violate their oath).
I can only shake my head in disbelief as I realize how close we came to loosing it all that day.
