Pelosi Says House is Prepared to Decide Presidential Election If Results are Disputed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that Congress is prepared to play a “prominent role” in deciding the presidential election in the event that results are disputed.

“We understand what the law is and the preeminence of the role of Congress and specifically the House of Representatives when it comes to counting the votes,” Pelosi said in an interview with NPR.

If the presidential election does not determine a clear winner by electoral vote, then it falls to the House to choose the next president.

“We’re ready. We’re prepared. We’ve been ready for a while because we see this irresponsibility of the president, his disrespect for the Constitution, for our democracy and for the integrity of our elections. So we’re ready for him,” Pelosi said.

Problem is I believe each state only gets one vote. That could work out in favor of DT

1. I don't see how this statement has any value

9. I do

It's her telling Trump that she's got her eye on him. Trump won't admit it to anyone, but Nancy lives rent-free in his head, and he knows that she's more familiar with the laws than he is. Hopefully, he takes it as a message to not try anything.

5. If I'm counting correctly, they control 26 delegations. But the new House will be seated

on Jan. 3, 2021.

And we don't know how many seats they'll control then.

6. Nancy does not make frivilous statements.

She knows of what she speaks, or she wouldn't say it.

7. She's saying this to hammer the point that SCOTUS has no role in the election.

The House settles an election dispute.

I don't think she's saying she thinks it will come to that.
