1. Setting aside the fact that she won't respond, there's actually a legal basis for her decision

Joe Biden HAS NOT BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT. All we have are media projections. None of his leads in PA-AZ-NV-GA have been certified, because ballot counting hasn't stopped. The only reason Transition normally starts immediately is because the losing candidate concedes. That obviously won't be happening any time soon.

[Sherman A1]

2. Agreed

Things take time.

[TigressDem]

11. This isn't supposed to take this much time.

She is a TRUMP appointee that has done what tRump wants on many occasions.

HE doesn't want Biden to WIN or be declared the winner, so reality be dammed. Whoever is drinking tRump koolaid is going to say, Biden hasn't won yet.

The GSA’s role is dictated by the 1963 Presidential Transition Act, which Congress has updated several times in a bid to promote peaceful, orderly handoffs and limit any national security vulnerabilities during the transfer of presidential power.

The ascertainment is usually routine, often happening without fanfare before dawn the morning after Election Day. This year, it’s anything but, as Trump insists “this election is far from over,” and mounts legal battles and recounts in several states.

12. Have the states certified their results as of yet?

If not, then perhaps a bit of patience is in order.

[TigressDem]

15. Nope, they are being hamstringed by lawsuits.

I can be patient with the States, but the GSA is supposed to cooperate with the changing of the guard.

Even IF things changed and Trump wins, Trump is still getting briefings and is prepared.

IF the results are as they seem, then Biden should have access to the briefings and the office space and the current employees working on various aspects of the various agencies. Getting up to speed on everything going on over an entire country takes a bit of time, ergo the reasoning for a smooth transition of power without the BS happening now.

[Sherman A1]

16. As I understand few if any states would have certified by this time

Lawsuits or not. There is no uniform set of standards.

[TigressDem]

18. No uniform set of standards FOR States, true. Which is WHY GSA is supposed to support BOTH

It is understood that there may be State by State issues, so the GSA has been specifically working for 40 years to smooth the TRANSITION and make it WORK whatever is going on with the certification.

THIS GSA has already helped tRump commit fraud financially from the beginning of his pResidency.

MANY top lawmakers, military, world leaders and those who understand this policy deeply are calling this something that makes our Democracy weak and puts our country at risk from external and internal threats.

Just like he gives 2 craps about millions dying from Corona, he doesn't care WHAT happens to the country as long as he retains his power. He is intimidating those in his party and administration to do his will and DENY the election results that are being verified by the states in numerous ways by REJECTING his lawsuits as fast as he can file them.

The GSA is not supposed to be a political tool of the pRez. It is supposed to be a non-partisan position.

The DOJ is not supposed to be a political tool. It is supposed to be a non-partisan position.

The Supreme Court is not supposed to be a political tool. It is supposed to be a non-partisan entity.

HIM DEMANDING THEY NOT COOPERATE IS RIPPING APART OUR DEMOCRACY AND TURNING IT INTO HIS DICTATORSHIP.

3. This ☝️☝️☝️

Seriously, we need to stop working each other into a frenzy over this. This is completely legal and there is nothing untoward happening here. Let the process work.

[TigressDem]

10. It isn't about her doing anything illegal.

It's about putting the power of the people in her mailbox so she has reason to certify as fast as legally possible.

ALTHOUGH reading a bit more... SHE IS A TRUMP APPOINTEE who has been subservient to his wishes repeatedly. So she could shut Joe down from getting access to security briefings and money to put his team together until Dec 14 and it really isn't suppose to be that way.



"NORMALLY"

4. The Biden campaign seems to be getting concerned.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/09/politics/biden-transition-delay/index.html

If the GSA dingbat is waiting for Trump to concede and all states to be 'certified' - at least one of those things just isn't going to happen.

They're evidently pointing to 2000 as a reason - equating the situation then with the situation now - even though these two elections are galaxies different in outcome.

So yea, it's a stall.

[TigressDem]

8. It gives her some leverage to MAKE the decision sooner rather than later.

She will still wait until it's legal for her to do so, but having email, contact from the people who are affected by attempts to NOT certify the election (not actually by her but that affect her) may make it look like she MUST see past the lies and hear what the states are saying by slamming tRump's lawsuits back in his face.

She then can at least investigate and have her own cache of reasons WHY the delay is not proper once all the votes have been counted.

[TigressDem]

9. But... These aren't normal circumstances.

We don't need to be frothing at the mouth like the REICH Wing is, but we can't just sit back and let tRump get away with his disinformation campaign. Biden HAS GOTTEN THE VOTES NEEDED TO BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

By voting we said who we want to be in the White House and tRump doesn't care. He has 70 + days to try and change reality by abusing his power. He let go Esper who was holding him back from using military force on civilians this summer during the BLM protests. Why NOW? What is he planning?

He used tear gas on peaceful protesters so he could go stand on church steps and hold a Bible. This guy is NOT right in the head.


HIS followers are crazy folk with guns stalking the people counting the votes because Trump is LYING ABOUT VOTER FRAUD.

HIS followers tried to run Biden's bus and his supporter's vehicle off the road.

BECAUSE tRump is goading these people on. WE HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY TO KEEP HIM FROM ABUSING THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY for ONE minute longer than absolutely necessary.

He is misusing his power to try and steal the election by having the DOJ investigate FALSE CLAIMS of election fraud that doesn't exist in numbers great enough to affect any of the state's results.

It isn't just him pouting and "not conceding" it is HIM INCITING PEOPLE TO RIOT.

I don't have anything against Emily, but she needs PROOF that the PEOPLE won't stand for Trump misusing his power and making her delay ONE MINUTE past the moment she CAN DO HER JOB and give BIDEN what he needs to make this transition work, because he is getting NO HELP from MF45.

13. What is the Presidential Transition Act?

... What happens if the result of the election is unclear? The law provides that an eligible candidate has the right to the facilities and services provided to eligible candidates until the date on which the Administrator is able to determine the apparent successful candidates for the office of president and vice president ...

7. DONE

to emily.murphy

You will be getting lots of mail to officially announce Biden/Harris win as they have already gotten the electoral votes needed to become the President and Vice President elect.

WE know you don't want to be seen as playing a favorite or disrespecting the sitting President, but all those lawsuits are being pushed back because they have no evidence of actual widespread voter fraud.

Even Fox News sees through the lies and cut away from Kayleigh McEnany so they wouldn't be seen as complicit in spreading mis-information. Fox News, Emily.

Trump is trying to stage a coup. He's firing people and forcing others to pursue boogeymen and dead people casting invalid votes. He put in a Postmaster General for the purpose of doing damage to the mail-in-vote process. He does not deserve "protection" from the truth.

Every state is showing their transparency of process and being belittled and lied about. THAT isn't the American way. Do the right thing. Admit the truth. Biden/Harris won fair and square and that is what the numbers show.

Two Senators in Georgia tried to bully the Secretary of State to RESIGN for doing his job and making sure votes get accurately counted by alleging misconduct. THERE IS NO PROOF.

14. Kicking. This should be done by anyone who can do it.

This morning I sent an email to Ms. Murphy and later on I'll use the contact form to file another complaint.
