Donald Trump’s intention to steal the 2020 election has been clearly proven by the Jan. 6 committee. His intention to steal the 2024 election is equally clear. And the U.S. Supreme Court’s intention to aid and abet this theft is also crystal clear. The court will hear a case in October, Moore v. Harper, in which is not just possible but probable that the court will confirm state legislatures’ authority to give the state’s electoral votes to which ever candidate the legislature chooses, regardless of the results of the election in that state.
This is due to a serious “flaw” in the U.S. Constitution, if one assumes the constitution was intended to allow the people to elect their president. Given that the Constitution creates the electoral college, there is serious reason to question that intent.
The court’s likely ruling in Moore v. Harper will allow a presidential candidate to win the presidency after losing not only the popular vote, as has been the case for two Republican presidents in the 21st century, but after losing the electoral college vote as it has historically been tabulated, as well.
We are headed toward a nightmare in 2024. Thom Hartman has written a great summary of the situation at hartmannreport.com/p/the-nightmare-scenario-scotus-is. Please read it.
We must demand a constitutional amendment implementing a popular vote for president and it must be done before 2024. The 26th amendment was proposed by Congress and passed by the states in less than six months. This is far more important.
