Trump's Contingent Scheme

Trump’s Contingent Election Scheme

This is my theory on how he plans to

• get away with all his many crimes,
• eliminate all his critics and enemies
• lose the election
• and still become president.

The 12th Amendment to the Constitution requires that presidential and vice presidential candidates gain “a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed” in order to win election. With a total of 538 electors representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia, 270 electoral votes is the “magic number,” the arithmetic majority necessary to win the presidency.

What would happen if no candidate won a majority of electoral votes? In these circumstances, the 12th Amendment also provides that the House of Representatives would elect the President, and the Senate would elect the Vice President, in a procedure known as “contingent election.”

Contingent election has been implemented twice in the nation’s history under the 12th Amendment: first, to elect the President in 1825, and second, the Vice President in 1837.

In a contingent election, the House would choose among the three candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each state, regardless of population, casts a single vote for President in a contingent election. Representatives of states with two or more Representatives would therefore need to conduct an internal poll within their state delegation to decide which candidate would receive the state’s single vote. A majority of state votes, 26 or more, is required to elect, and the House must vote “immediately” and “by ballot.” Additional precedents exist from 1825, but they would not be binding on the House in a contemporary election. In a contingent election, the Senate elects the Vice President, choosing one of the two candidates who received the most electoral votes. Each Senator casts a single vote, and the votes of a majority of the whole Senate, 51 or more, are necessary to elect. The District of Columbia, which is not a state, would not participate in a contingent election, despite the fact that it casts three electoral votes.

Once I learned what they are and what triggers them a lot of recent interference with our Democracy suddenly came into crystal clear focus. Seemingly random events snapped into place as part of Donald's huge, sinister game plan. The clues of who's doing what to whom are everywhere.

Donald Duck's plan is almost invisible,
but you can see it if you look closely enough.

1. continue to have his treasonous Postmaster General close neighborhood post offices, remove all neighborhood mailboxes, and remove all high speed mail handling equipment to cripple the US Mail to reduce the chances that mail-in ballots will be delivered on time
2. continue changing voting district boundaries (gerrymandering) so that R candidates are more likely to win
3. continue increasing the "requirements" to be "allowed" to vote: IDs, signature perfect matches, birth certificates so that D voters will not vote
4. continue threatening all judges and court employees with harm to scare them out of doing their jobs which would result in a life sentence for the criminal candidate
5. continue raising hell when states remove his name from the primary ballot according to the clear rules of Section 3 of the 14th. Amendment to the Constitution regarding public servants who ignore their oaths of office and cause an insurrection
6. promise to rule as a dictator if elected
7. screw up the election process so much that the obsolete and unnecessary "electoral college" can not reach the required number of votes to declare a winner
8. wait one month until the Constitutional contingent election process is triggered automatically. This will cause each state to have ONLY ONE VOTE which will put Donald Duck back into the White House WITHOUT WINNING THE ELECTION. It is entirely possible that Donald will secretly launch a "third party" to steal enough electoral college votes to CAUSE a contingent election. To understand ALL the dangers please read the full explanation at the bottom of the page.
9. In the mean time delay, delay, delay all criminal proceedings so that the contingent election will take place before he is convicted and jailed
10. The Duck immediately pardons himself for every one of his horrible crimes and goes free making Donald the Criminal Of The Century and the greatest escape artist in history
11. Next, the Duck threatens congress and courts (as he is doing now) until the un-elected "president" (Donald) gets them to change the term of the US presidency to lifetime rule.

And just like that,
we switch from a democracy to fascism
with our very own life-long dictator.
