TRUMP’S 1418th DAY IN OFFICE
AND WE ONCE AGAIN HEAR FROM OUR LOCAL POLITICAL JUNKIE WE’LL CALL “CINCY DAVE”
Our Political Junkie We’ll Call “Cincy Dave” was NOT part of the Marvelous Media Meltdown to come that’s been going on since the Greatest Election Night In History.
That’s why The Blower has always been pleased to re-publish “Cincy Dave’s” scholarly attempts to be fair-and-balanced following the 2016 Presidential Election.
We continue with Cincy Dave’s latest thoughts on the 2020 Elections..
Monday was Election Day, the day when votes were actually cast for president. Unlike most elections, (unless you count gerrymandering) the candidates and their parties pick the voters for today’s election, instead of the voters picking the candidates. Yes, that’s the away our crazy electoral college system works. Also, in today’s presidential election, the person with the most votes actually wins.
So, Monday, the electors chosen by each state’s (winning) candidate for president met in their respective states and sent their votes to the President of the Senate, who is a fellow named Mike Pence. Yeah, that Mike Pence. He will be in charge of a joint session of congress on Jan. 6th to count all the votes cast today for president and for his own successor, (on the off-chance is isn’t himself). He also has to dispatch any objections to the votes, of which there could be many for this one. Because, you know, rigging.
Four years ago, the candidate who received 306 electoral votes said it was a landslide It so will be interesting to see if Monday’s election was also a landslide.
