mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As noted in an article at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-election-dueling-electors-explain-idUSKBN2712M7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reuters in October<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>States with close contests between Republican President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden could produce competing slates of electors, one certified by the governor and the other by the legislature\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">\u2026Both chambers of [the US] Congress could accept the same slate of electors, which would almost certainly put the matter to rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">The chambers could also split, which is more likely if the Republicans retain control of the Senate and Democrats hold onto their House majority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">If lawmakers cannot agree on a set of electors, the country will find itself in uncharted territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">The Electoral Count Act, often described by academics as \u201cunintelligible,\u201d seems to favor the slate of electors certified by the state\u2019s governor, according to Ned Foley, a professor at Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">But Foley notes that some scholars and an analysis by the Congressional Research Service have rejected that conclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">Academics have sketched out several scenarios. Under one, Pence as president of the Senate could throw out both sets of a state\u2019s electors. Another contemplates that the House of Representatives would end up choosing between Biden and Trump. [This scenario would give one vote to each state and since the Republicans have more states with Republican majorities, President Trump would likely be the winner]. There is even a scenario in which the Speaker of the House, currently Democrat Nancy Pelosi, could become acting president.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>So the Biden folks, the Democrat Party, Big Media, Big Tech, China and other foreigners can make the silly and refuted claim that Biden won the election.\u00a0 But we all know they are dishonest and have no respect for America or its Constitution.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2020\/12\/exclusive-six-swing-states-pa-ga-mi-wi-az-nv-new-mexico-pick-slate-electoral-delegates-president-trump-joe-biden-means\/\">https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2020\/12\/exclusive-six-swing-states-pa-ga-mi-wi-az-nv-new-mexico-pick-slate-electoral-delegates-president-trump-joe-biden-means\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: Six Swing States (PA, GA, MI, WI, AZ and NV) and New Mexico Pick Slate of Electoral Delegates for President Trump and Joe Biden \u2013 Here\u2019s What It Means<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41638\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
