While Democrat legal challenges were pending, Democratic presidential electors met to case a conditional vote for John F Kennedy to preserve their intent in the event of future favourable legal outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1338254785666043908\">Donald Trump had warned that legislators\u00a0<\/a>who certify votes as being legally compete and correct when there was massive fraud are committing a severally punishable crime. Perhaps that helped to motivate nervous or weak Republican legislators?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1338254785666043908\">@RealDonaldTrump<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swing States that have found massive VOTER FRAUD, which is all of them, CANNOT LEGALLY CERTIFY these votes as complete &amp; correct without committing a severely punishable crime. Everybody knows that dead people, below age people, illegal immigrants, fake signatures, prisoners and many others voted illegally. Also, machine \u201cglitches\u201d (another word for FRAUD), ballot harvesting, non-resident voters, fake ballots, \u201cstuffing the ballot box\u201d, votes for pay, roughed up Republican Poll Watchers, and sometimes even more votes than people voting, took place in Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and elsewhere. In all Swing State cases, there are far more votes than are necessary to win the State, and the Election itself. Therefore, VOTES CANNOT BE CERTIFIED.
