Take a Red Pill and join me in the future for the reading of the electoral vote. The year is 2025. It’s 1pm on #January6th and Vice-President Kamala Harris has begun opening the envelopes with the electoral vote from each state, alphabetically... gregpalast.com/what-do-you-ca…
When she reaches Georgia, new Republican Senator Herschel Walker objects to accepting Harris’ choice of the slate of Electors pledged to Joe Biden, the slate submitted by Georgia’s Governor Stacey Abrams. gregpalast.com/what-do-you-ca…
Instead, Sen. Walker demands Harris count the vote of the slate submitted by Georgia’s GOP-controlled legislature with Electors committed to Donald Trump. gregpalast.com/what-do-you-ca…
Republicans, holding the majority in the House since the 2022 mid-terms, have rejected Biden’s Electors from Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan. VP Harris is therefore compelled to invoke the Constitution’s procedure for disputed elections outlined in the Twelfth Amendment.
Under this little-known Constitutional process, each state receives but a single vote. Republicans control the Congressional delegations of 27 states. Though that represents just a tiny portion of America’s voters, Donald Trump wins “re-election” with a vote of 27 to 23.
You’re thinking, “Palast, do you really believe this could happen?”

Forget the whack-jobs who invaded the Capitol a year ago. These “insurrectionists” were schmucks with no chance of overturning the election. (I don’t dismiss the gravity of their actions—they crushed the skull of a policeman & threatened other murders in the hall of the people.)
But truly, the real danger was in the Oval Office when, two days earlier, Trump peddled a memo by attorney John Eastman. Eastman’s memo laid out, in detail, the dark scenario I described above, in which Republicans use the Twelfth Amendment to overturn the choice of the voters. 
As a journalist, it’s not my job to tell you whether Biden or Trump should be President. How about we let the voters make that choice? But that’s not easy. Whether we have a democracy in 2024 depends on whether we can preserve democracy in 2022. gregpalast.com/what-do-you-ca…
And once again, it will come down to Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin — where voting is about to get a lot harder for people of color, as we’ve uncovered in our latest investigation.
Can we stop this coup? Yes, but only before it happens: by protecting the vote in Georgia and other swing states.
If we wait until 2024, it will be too late. The work begins this midterm year.
