3) …In the morning, new numbers show Trump’s lead starting to slip, and by noon, it is below 20,000. Impatient, Trump holds an impromptu press conference and announces:" Image
4) "So begins the saga over the disputed result of the 2020 presidential election.”

Although familiar, the passage isn’t taken from a recent article describing the Nov. 3, 2020, presidential election. Rather, it comes from a 55-page paper, published on Aug 31, 2019 by Ed Foley.
5) Foley’s paper, more of a Democrat war-game analysis, takes readers on a complicated electoral journey that may well prove to accurately foreshadow events through Jan. 20.

Foley has provided a complicated—but thus far surprisingly accurate—electoral roadmap to be used by Dems.
6) Foley’s scenarios from Jan. 6 onward envision congressional usage of the Electoral Count Act, invoked through Congress’s Necessary and Proper Clause power.

Side Note: Foley is also originator of Blue Shift Theory

7) And in each scenario, the two Houses of Congress reach an impasse, with the resulting outcome leading to Pelosi becoming acting President until the situation is resolved.

“There’s about 16 or 18 of us now that signed this letter to the Vice President … asking him to delay the electoral vote for 10 to 12 days.”

“We were going to get it to him tomorrow morning.”
theepochtimes.com/georgia-state-…
“I think several senators from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona also wrote letters sent to the Vice President, [telling him] we want the vice president to at least delay it 10 to 12 days.”
Jan 20th is date that matters Constitutionally:

"Terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January"

Pence can, and in my view, should defer.

Allows Audit to proceed. Takes ECA away.

Gives states time to revisit, clarify. With new evidence.

Curious what specific actions Raffensperger took that you see as credible

Judge Totenberg stated repeatedly in ruling that true RLA audits of results using Dominion equipment were inherently not possible.

Ben Adida's (VotingWorks) arguments to contrary were demolished in court.
Raffensperger knew this as he was party to lawsuit. And his general counsel, Ryan Germany, was on at least one critical court hearing.

That didn't stop him from issuing press release celebrating results of RLA as definitive.

Was used by media everywhere.

VotingWorks performed the RLA...

Raffensberger also used CISA release on "Election Integrity" at one point to defend Georgia's results.

Despite almost certainly having to know that both Dominion & Pro V&V were part of council that issued statement.

This issue was repeatedly highlighted bu Judge Totenberg:

Dominion’s system “does not produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot or a paper ballot marked with the voter’s choices in a format readable by the voter because the votes are tabulated solely from the unreadable QR code.”
Judge also found that Dominion's QR codes are NOT encrypted:

“Evidence plainly contradicts any contention that the QR codes or digital signatures are encrypted,”

This was “ultimately conceded by Mr. Cobb and expressly acknowledged later by Dr. Coomer during his testimony.”
Judge Totenberg said there was “demonstrable evidence” that the implementation of Dominion’s systems by Georgia placed voters at an “imminent risk of deprivation of their fundamental right to cast an effective vote,” which she defined as a “vote that is accurately counted.”

1) I found this Hill article on Pence to be interesting. But maybe not for the reasons you might expect.

At least directly so.

2) Of note - a quote from Edward Foley:

“The idea that the Vice President has sole authority to determine whether or not to count electoral votes submitted by a state, or which of competing submissions to count, is inconsistent with a proper understanding of the Constitution.”
Foley, a lawyer/professor/WAPO contributor, is known for his Blue Shift theory

"election day results can initially indicate a Republican is ahead, but adding provisional ballots and absentee ballots into the count can eventually show a Democratic victory"

Am I seeing this correctly:

1) Trump signed omnibus bill w/redlined "suggestions"
2) Congress "promises" to vote (post-Trump signing) on increase from $600 to $2,000
3) Congress "promises" to repeal or amend Section 230
4) Congress "promises" to look into voter fraud

WTH???
Some are saying Trump has not yet signed. Not what I'm seeing:
Here we go:

"I am demanding many rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974..."

That's our President.

"I'm asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2K...I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items...and to send me a suitable bill..."

"maybe that [next] administration will be me"
Thanks @realDonaldTrump for intervening as Congress is worse than useless.

Cheap talk of "Draining the Swamp" while passing Bill that funds it - and leaving Americans out.

Only 6 Senators voted no:

@MarshaBlackburn
@RandPaul
@SenRonJohnson
@SenMikeLee
@SenRickScott
@tedcruz
The relief should always have been stand-alone.

Needs to be redone w/out the massive pork that inflated it far beyond the amounts to help everyday citizens in the immediate.

As for the appropriations - an embarrassment and should be a complete redo.
