In Music One Starts With Doe, Rae, Mee

Given: Pretty much all US citizens at least espouse the desire to live in a democracy.
Given: de-mo-cra-cy - n - Greek demos people (more at ?) + kratia from krato (verb) prevail; descibes a system of government, generally taken to mean "rule by the people".
Given: The US Constitution, Provisions for he Electoral College,
as recorded and presented by the good folks at the National Archives.
(no need for 8 hours of classes for this simple legal gosub)

Ergo: Begotten was the
US CODE, Chpt 1, to further obfuscate.

"Time of appointing electors

§ 1. The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.

Failure to make choice on prescribed day

§ 2. Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.

Number of electors

§ 3. The number of electors shall be equal to the number of Senators and Representatives to which the several States are by law entitled at the time when the President and Vice President to be chosen come into office; except, that where no apportionment of Representatives has been made after any enumeration, at the time of choosing electors, the number of electors shall be according to the then existing apportionment of Senators and Representatives.

Vacancies in electoral college

§ 4. Each State may, by law, provide for the filling of any vacancies which may occur in its college of electors when such college meets to give its electoral vote.

Determination of controversy as to appointment of electors

§ 5. If any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination of any controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such State, by judicial or other methods or procedures, and such determination shall have been made at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, such determination made pursuant to such law so existing on said day, and made at least six days prior to said time of meeting of the electors, shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution, and as hereinafter regulated, so far as the ascertainment of the electors appointed by such State is concerned."



OK...Back to the top.

Time of appointing electors

§ 1. The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.

Again from the NARA Files. I encourage all to go to our national government's official record keepers' wesite at the above link. Just clicking through the helpful links will give a very clear illustration of what's going on here.


This is what i mean by "The Grouse." It's a snipe hunt, a BIG LIE that is so blatantly contrived that it lives through scrutiny by virtue of it's apparently phantom specifics.

Here's the rub though; you'll note the state laws quoted. I'm serious when i say good folks work at National Archives; when i was doing my six-hard at the SJPL MLK Main Library i had a couple pleasant occassions to deal with NARA folks, and they're cool for kids. They don't have to reference the state laws that detail the states' proceedures, but they do. They WANT someone to look into this.

So for you true heroes at the archives, who are soon to be deluged with task of making availiable this year's declassified documents, i will endevour to disclose here the electoral proceedures of each of these Unites States.

Unless i get distracted by the UAPs (aka, UFOs).
