Questioning me is fine.

I'm talking about DEFEATISM:

People ASSERTING that @realDonaldTrump will lose due to hysterical scenarios that have no chance of becoming reality.

So ASKING ME ANYTHING is fine.
RELEVANT presidential line of succession:

Vice President.

Speaker of the House.

President Pro Tempore of the Senate
Vice Presidential line of succession:

Speaker of the House

President Pro Tempore of the Senate

Secretary of State
So:

The scenario is that ALL national elections are FUBAR because of mail-in voting.

THE ENTIRE HOUSE IS UP FOR ELECTION.

In a normal election, the new House would convene on January 3, 2021.

The new speaker is elected by the members-elect of the new House.
If the entire national election is FUBAR, there is no new House.

Period.

There is no provision for the previous House to take over temporarily.

Pelosi's term as speaker expires on January 3, 2021.

Period.
There's absolutely no way that the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION will be undecided, but the House ballots are all counted and certified by January 3, 2021.

BESIDES, the Republicans are going to take the House.
Don't tell me that the Democrats will somehow both steal the House election and block Trump's reelection by mail.

Can you possibly comprehend the logistics involved?

THESE ARE PAPER BALLOTS.

All of them will be sorted.

This begins with 13,000 ballots.
About 129 million people voted in 2016.

That means Democrats have to add in or dispose of tens of millions of paper ballots.

HOW?

The physical bulk of those ballots and the physical labor involved make it logistically impossible.
We're talking giant dumpsters full of ballots.

So if the plan is to somehow prevent Trump from being elected but make sure the House is elected, it can't be done.

The people who are cutting their own throats politically have no ability to do that.
If the presidential votes can't be counted by January 6, 2021, the House votes can't either.

There's no law saying that the outgoing House can assume the duties of the incoming House.

BUT.

There will be 12 Senators on duty.

THEY will be Congress.
And one of them of President Pro Tempore of the Senate.

Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

He AUTOMATICALLY becomes president.

It's the law. Nobody can stop it.
Since there will be no House, no Speaker, and no Nancy Pelosi, the Secretary of State becomes Vice President.

MIKE POMPEO.

Only one of the most loyal Trump cabinet members.
All of this is moot, because it's not going to happen.

Simply bringing in a getting rid of tens of millions of paper ballots can't be done unnoticed.

The universal mail-elections so far are catastrophes.
MOST PEOPLE WILL VOTE IN PERSON.

Even BLUE states are scurrying to make sure we have that access.

The civil-rights penalties are incalculable.

So even if all your dark fantasies come true, the Republicans STILL WIN.
Stop listening to superficial babble and look into matters for yourself.

The answers aren't state secrets.

Time to get the old gray matter back into shape.

Otherwise you're as vulnerable as a child.
