Trump blaming Pence for not stopping the count of electors, and now JD Vance is saying he would have stopped everything? Has the potential VP done that before?(This could cause the absence of office as above)
Once those two things happen, no votes matter.
I see your point, though. Everything is the end of the world all the time. But this time they have practiced and Trump himself said you wont have to worry about elections in 2028. Which makes sense, control the electors in the swing states, only certify the ones voting for you, when there are two sets, then you win every time all the time.
I bet you think the Russian elections are real too, though. Astounding. The other party will win sometime!
How many fake set of electors were sent last election? How many went to jail? If you don't know this then you may be willfully ignorant.

No link available. I don't think that's ever happened before.
It is kind of comical to me that most of the people in Congress who were objecting - which in isolation is absolutely fine; the process wouldn't exist if not to hear objections - didn't support Trump until they saw him as a path to cementing their own power.
Senator Vance included. This came out a few days ago:

I don't know much about the procedural side of it. I thought the secretaries of each state had to certify their state's votes and then it was (prior to 2020) largely a procedural thing in the Congress to certify it.
The Russian elections are real inasmuch as they happened. The result is a foregone conclusion, though, so there's no integrity. I don't think the various states will allow that to happen until the complete breakdown of the US. Which will happen, but extremely likely not in our lifetimes.
These presidents are not dictators as much as they can try to use (or, in the case of January 6, NOT use) the bully pulpit as they see fit. I'm personally more interested in CA-40 and our county and state races since I live here. But for people in other countries, I can understand why all that matters is the occupant of the White House.
