That would make Mike Johnson President as soon as Kamala gets assassinated

Nope, Harris appoints Walz as VP the moment she’s sworn in and states no confirmation is required because official act / total immunity.

My God. This is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.  We are voting against a man who TRIED to ACTIVELY OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT.  This is the United States. This is not Russia or Venezuela or

First - why the fuck is this guy still in this role?

Second - why does this shit only dawn on the Dems within 2 months of the election? 

Seems like this is sorta political malpractice after the 2020 election.

Biden can’t fire him and there’s still a “Dem” appointee on the board that Trump appointed who won’t vote him off. They’re one vote short, I believe

I know there’s some kinda Rube Goldberg mechanics to get him replaced, but the fact this admin didn’t get it done is a blight on the term. Just hoping it doesn’t have November impact

Both of these were exactly my thoughts when I read this. How the fuck is this guy still in charge?

Remind me again, why can't the president fire him?

Because only the board has that power. Looks like a bunch of appointees are waiting confirmation, including the one that would replace the current chair 

The Postmaster General is not a member of the Cabinet and is not in line to be president. The position is selected by the Board of Governors of the Postal Service, whose members are appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. They serve seven year terms.

The Postmaster General’s office has no fixed term, meaning that DeJoy can serve as long as the Board of Governors approves.

There’s 9 voting members, and by my count only 3 are trump appointed including dejoy. 
 

No more than 5 members from one party allowed. So Biden had to appoint a republican/independent

The Politico article strikes me as revealing on the nature of all the "swamp" claims around D.C.

Guess who voted to keep the current chair in office.

You’re right. It’s all Joe Biden’s fault! As usual. Not voting for him in November

https://www.texastribune.org/2024/09/12/tarrant-county-college-voting-location/

4-1 vote against
10% of the early votes in 2020 in Tarrant County came from the college campuses - "low voter turnout" 

An effort by some Republican officials to curb access to early voting on college campuses in Tarrant County failed Thursday, after Tarrant County Commissioners Court voted to keep the polling sites in place.

The push to limit the voting locations was led by Judge Tim O’Hare, a Republican and the chief elected official of the county. He said the measure was intended to save money because those poll locations had low voter turnout. Democrats on the commissioners' court and local voting rights advocates called the effort an attempt at voter suppression targeted at people of color and younger voters who tend to be more liberal.

Republicans in Congress, like Ted Cruz, will do their best to delay or cancel out the election result when Harris wins. If they are successful, the current President (Biden or Harris if Biden retired) would cease to be President on Inauguration Day. If Congress and the Courts somehow tied up the proceedings, it would seem logical that the Speaker would temporarily become President while the mess was sorted out. If the Courts ultimately agreed that Harris won, I would think that Johnson steps down and Harris would get sworn in.

And if the West Wing storyline was correct, the Speaker would have to resign their seat in Congress to become President. John Goodman has to do so to take over from Martin Sheen when the first daughter was kidnapped.

I think that New Congress gets seated before January 20th so if Dems win the house we should have Speaker Jeffries in the House.

The new Congress is sworn in on Jan 3 - they are who will be certifying the Electoral College vote.

Nebraska back at it trying to change their EC rules to winner-take-all at the last minute.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lindsey-graham-nebraska-electoral-college-vote-kamala-harris/

Quote

"As I have also made clear, I am willing to convene the Legislature for a special session to fix this 30-year-old problem before the 2024 election," the governor said, though he noted that he must first receive indication that there's enough support among state senators. Early voting in Nebraska begins on Oct. 1, but the secretary of state said a switch to a winner-take-all system could be implemented anytime before Election Day on Nov. 5, according to a report from KOLN.

Georgia election board voting to require hand counts along with machine counts. Must be completed by the day after the election. This will cost millions and require new employees to be trained. Even the gop AG has said this wasn’t legal especially considering how this close the election.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/20/trump-georgia-election-board-hand-count-ballots/

my guess is that the gop controlled election board knows a judge will overturn their new rule but it gives them evidence how the deep state is against ballot integrity and Donald Trump.

we all know they only care about atlanta area ballots and need to delay / spin fraud worries, or throw out as many ‘fake’ votes as possible  

curious how much they’ll throw at kemp to play along or if he’ll stick to the ‘rule of law’ ?

good read on hand counting here in Texas ….

 

It took a county in AZ THREE (!!!) days to count 850 ballots

This is either getting overturned by the courts or Kemp will have to do something when his own AG said it’s not legal

In a crazy way I could see Atlanta elected officials liking hand count requirements. It creates short term jobs for their supporters. It’s a way to funnel tax dollars to their favorite people. They probably don’t like it popping up 6 weeks before the election.

hand count if you want, but all ballots and counts are verified by machine. any variance of more than 0.5% - people / supervisors / officials get prison time 

 

What are you basing this on?
