Multiple House Democrats have indicated that they might not certify the 2024 presidential election results if former President Donald Trump wins. Political analysts have warned that Democrat lawmakers could try to use the 14th Amendment to object to the certification of a Trump electoral win by labeling him ineligible as an insurrectionist if the Supreme Court does not issue a definitive ruling prior to the election.


quote:

According to The Atlantic, Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff (Calif.), Eric Swalwell (Calif.), Jamie Raskin (Md.), James Clyburn (S.C.), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies (N.Y.) have refused to commit to confirming the 2024 election results if Trump wins in a potential rematch election against President Joe Biden.


quote:

Additionally, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) told The Atlantic that she “might be” one of the Democratic lawmakers who would push for the former president to be disqualified from holding office again; however, while Lofgren said she thinks Trump is “clearly ineligible, she described the process of challenging elections results as “very murky” and warned, “there’s no procedure, per se, for challenging on this basis.”


quote:

While Schiff did not commit to certifying the election results if Trump is president, he told The Atlantic that he would not object if the Supreme Court declares Trump eligible for the 2024 election. He added that he did not “want to get into the chaos hypothetical” of what might happen if the Supreme Court does not issue a decision ahead of the election.

Isn’t their argument that Trump questioning certification of the 2020 vote is insurrection?

I guess they have to be that flexible to fit their heads up their asses regularly.

They are relieved from this burden. SCOTUS's decision was as definitive as it gets.

Joe Biden can still win this election if Kamala Harris has the courage...

It's the Dem playbook. Accuse your opponent of doing the very thing you're doing. In this case, threatening democracy.

But you have to certify the electors you are given, regardless of whether or not they were obtained by legal process according to state laws.

The real danger to the Republic of America folks. It's all within and Obama is working hard to fundamentally change America.

First, the Democrats will have to recover from Chicago burning during their convention.

It's really about the fake electors his lawyers organized in several states to cause confusion.

Maybe a little about demanding the previous certification be stopped as well

Either way we're just destroying our institutions and faith in the system. I hope democrats take the high road here and not stoop to the undemocratic ways of Republicans

We must destroy democracy because Drumpf is a threat to democracy. Make it make sense.

I hope they do because they’re all on video saying that’s bad and can’t be done.

When Republicans do it it's insurrection. When Democrats do it it's "saving democracy". That's the rule.

Raheem Kassam just told Bannon they are absolutely planning to do this especially now with this SCOTUS ruling.
