I apologize for … Doug’s? … disembodied hand in this picture. And the map is from the NYT.

The basic problem with autocracy is it’s just so damn exhausting. All the pro-democracy, rational, normal people have to repeat themselves over and over again about how yes, actually, the laws still apply to you, Karen, even though Trump was “President,” and all the fascists are running around … I guess goose-stepping and ironing their uniform. But yes, for about the billionth time Joe Biden is President-Elect.

This time it’s because the electors in each state who make up the Electoral College met in their respective states at a place chosen by their state legislatures to go through the process of voting by paper ballot for both President and Vice President. And on submission and tallying of their ballots it was shown that Biden and Harris both received over 270 Electoral College votes.

Now, Stephen Miller aka Joseph Goebbels trying not to be found out for vampirism, did say he wanted to submit alternate electoral votes to Congress. And you know what? Fine. Like … Trump’s entire thing has been about alternative news and alternative facts and the alternative right *cough* Nazis *cough* so sure. Alternative Electoral College votes are totally on brand.
