There must be representatives of at least 34 states present in the House for it to convene for the purpose of selecting a President.
The House will not be able to achieve such a quorum.
You lost me there.
Yeah there is at least 1 R in most states' delegations so that'd do 'er
That's why I'm confused. There would be at least 30 states voting R and quite possibly 5 or 6 that would be swayed. States that technically went D because of the urban area votes but were predominantly rural R voters.
I guess the original author of this comment was referring to a the possibility of a general boycott from all the demschevik representatives, not showing up
Okay, that makes sense. Without enough delegations ro form a quorum they would be unable to vote. The question is, in my mind, how likely would it be for states to decide "fuck it" and let it go to someone else? What state would want to five away that kind of control?
Good question
For lack of accurate answer I could retort "how far does the TDS go?"
Scorched earth is a thing, look how far they went during trump's mandate, everything goes. So I wouldn't rule out outright calls for secession, a non negligible number of them went as far as supporting riots and defunding the police already with the implicit and sometimes public approval of the higher ups
