Preparing for a Disputed Presidential Election:
 
1 Attachment(s)
By Edward B. Foley of Loyola University.

Foley unknowingly predicted back in 2018 that the 2020 election would be contested. He predicted then that Elizabeth Warren would be the Democrat nominee and that Pennsylvania would be the focus of the dispute where he predicts Trump will have appeared to have won in that State by a narrow 20,000 votes only to see subsequent canvasing throw the State to Warren.

Beginning on page 13 in the bottom section entitled, "What Could Happen," the author uses the 12th Amendment to the Constitution to show how the showdown over disputed electors might play out. It is well worth the read. Other "what if" scenarios continue throughout the essay, including the one I feel is most likely, that of Pence invalidating all slates of electors from all disputed states. This action reduced the overall number of electoral votes needed to win, throwing the election to Trump. Of course, such a scenario would cause the currently disinterested SCOTUS to suddenly take an interest.

Does Edward B. Foley wear a Hawaiian shirt?

What’s wrong with the Hawaiian shirt? Is there something wrong with a prophet wearing a Hawaiian shirt while on the beach of Honolulu soaking up the rays, getting a word from heaven on what your middle name is?

Just to clarify, this gentleman was simply speculating what might happen if an Article 12 situation plays out.

It’s more like a profit with a Hawaiian shirt standing knee-deep in the snow in Indiana. :lol

I feel sad for my friends and others who have their hopes set on Trump being sworn in for a second term next month. They really believe either Amy Coney Barrett and the conservative SCOTUS Justices are going to swoop in on white horses to save the day and invalidate Biden's win; or that the Democrat-controlled House will pass enough objections to state results to drop Biden below 270 and allow Congress to vote on the new POTUS.

It's fantasyland. Sadly delusional.

Still holding hope not because of judges or politicians but because of prayers to God through Jesus. Also realizing he has already shown more mercy than our nation deserves.

Im not in a fantasyland. Im a doomsday preacher. It will get worse either way but rather live in a nation that has till lately been generally favorable toward Christ than one with a top priority of blotting out his name and the lives of his people.

I am afraid you are mistaken. The essay I attached demonstrated SCOTUS involvement is not needed. Furthermore, SCOTUS has no interest in being involved.

Correct, which is why I included the “or” about the Dem controlled House passing enough objections to drop Biden below 270.
