I would not trust anything McJackArse is involved in. This sounds more like election interference and jerry rigging to me.

Does this mean that Mayorkas is going to count the votes?

Prediction time. The Republican Party will surrender on this and allow another steal. Now please someone tell me why anyone should pretend we have a "two party system"?

On July 13, we learned all we need to know about the Secret Service. The agency has no credibility.

So what extra measures will be taken? Will observers be banned? Will people be allowed to question or dispute election results? Will Washington DC be condoned off from the public for the day? This can mean whatever the Democrats in charge want it to.

Homeland security run by Majorkas is going to see that the vote is counted correctly?
Are you sh***** me?

The real evil is upstream. Where the bogus counts (as in Ga. 12000, Wi. 20000 and Az 11000) are prepared and the entire election of 158 million votes swings on 43000 bogus ballots. That is a matter of national life and death.

So, what's up Muriel Bowser? Up goes that stupid chain link fences around the capitol building again comes January. And US military units set up around the perimeter so your DC cops don't have to do it?

I'm sure they will stand down if PDT is the winner. They'll, hopefully, be worried about going to prison.

It's not the electoral vote that matters, dumb arse. It's the actual votes in every state. Certifying the electoral votes, while important constitutionally, is a little late in terms of widespread fraud. But then you knew this already - didn't you? Today's action is just to whitewash the process - I get it.

Let me rephrase the 1st paragraph for anyone who has difficulty navigating through our federal bureaucracy:
The 2025 Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes blah blah blah a National Special Security Event blah blah blah the Secretary of Homeland Security blah blah blah a National Special Security Event blah blah blah a Certification of Electoral Votes blah blah blah the DC Mayor blah blah blah a National Special Security Event blah blah blah the House Select January 6 Committee blah blah blah the Government Accountability Office blah blah blah DHS Secretary blah blah blah a National Special Security Event blah blah blah for future Certification of Electoral Votes.
There ya go. Transparency at work--- promoting efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability in our federal government. Yup.

Good. This may prove helpful when Trump wins and armed Democrat insurrectionists storm the Capitol.

Secret Service announcement? So, counter-sniper teams positioned in the gallery in Congress, pointing their rifles at the congressmen as they ... ahem ... approve the electors who would elect the next President? Secret Service decked out in full SWAT regalia standing next to each congressman who would report a Trump result in their state? And just before they would report that, they hear a subtle "snick click"?
This is being put in place to set up intimidation of Congress by the Secret Service. The Speaker of the House should remind Mr. Majorkas that Congress is a separate branch of government and does not take orders or direction from the Secret Service, thank you very much.

It doesn't inspire confidence that the man in charge, Alejandro Mayorkas, is one of the most accomplished and practicing liars in the entire US Government. "The border is secure."

This is the only country in the world that election day is about two months old, you can vote any way you want, results are not published at the close of voting "day", and it takes three months to certify the winner. During the period of "transition", they do so much damage is hard to swallow. It should be like in the UK. You win today and you are seated tomorrow. End of story. No wonder we are so screwed and the laughing stock of the world.

My 50-something offspring might call that "a culling." I asked what does that mean. He said look it up.

I do not trust the Secret Service any more. Something about this action stinks. Are they going to try another Jan.6th and blame Republicans again? And jail how many again? NO, NO, NO! We are on high alert. We are watching…

#25, I was not thinking of 1/6/21, I was thinking more along the lines of 7/13/2024.
Maybe the FBI can figure out who put that pipe bomb near DNC HQ by that time.
