What if he’s telegraphing his backup plan to try to use mail in ballots to cheat in November.
Suppression of mail in ballots is already in the works. In Oklahoma, the ballot envelopes are oversized, but it doesn't say anywhere (or it might in small print among the 6 documents they attach to the ballot) that it requires two stamps instead of just one. So I imagine that at least half, if not more, are being mailed with a single stamp and not arriving at their destination, or being returned well after the election.

I've also read a legitimate argument that the succession act is unconstitutional by including the legislative branch in the line of succession and that it can only be exercised by people elected to the executive (being only the Pres and VP) or their appointees, but if there is a void in the executive altogether, there would literally be no executive branch until an election was held. Again, this is just thought experiment, because the election will happen, and there's nothing trump can do to stay in office when his ass is crushed by the voters.

Assuming there is not, that means Pelosi would be in limbo since she is on the ballot (regardless of the fact that she is a certainty to win). The next in line in Senate Pro Tem Chuck Grassley, who is not up for reelection until 2022, so under this theory, he becomes president as the only office holder whose office was not affected by the delayed election. Just my thoughts on how that might work in the scenario that is truly not possible in reality.
If there's no election I'm pretty certain the Senate would lose its ® majority. Additionally, I think governors have the power to appoint Representatives so I would assume CA would appoint Pelosi back to her spot. Though I could be wrong as I'm many years removed from my high school civics class.
You're right on the first part, and I agree with this article that appointments probably wouldn't occur fast enough to be in effect for January 20. So it looks like Patrick Lehey of Vermont would be president in this asining scenario. But overall, imagine how ridiculous it would be that the entirety of the legislative and executive function would be exercised by only 1/3 of one house of congress. The additional absurdity being the lack of representation by more than half the states.

No, he lost in the Libertarian primary, receiving a whopping 664 votes. I'm sure that would be higher after the netflix show.

Maybe there's some merit to an election delay. I guess that's assuming she gets re-elected.

I think this goes here. Governor Stitt(head) has been fighting the Indian tribes over gaming and was told repeatedly he'd lose. The republican attorney general told him he was wrong and withdrew from negotiations. When the tribes sued Stitt, the AG refused to defend him. Governor goes on and enters into new compacts with some smaller tribes which he was told were illegal. The republican leaders in our legislature told him he was wrong and sued him. The AG again refused to defend him. So he hires his own lawyers at taxpayer expense and racks up $1.5 million in fees and loses both cases. How many times does someone need to be told they are wrong to just fucking accept it and to do the right thing? I swear, this is trumpism. This all started when Stitt issued a dumb editorial to the Oklahoma that the tribes should be paying like half of their profits to the state despite the long term compacts. He was told he was wrong, and of course like trump and his minions just can't ever reevaluate and do the right thing. Just stick to your wrongness to the end. I'm sure he'll be claiming soon a conspiracy against him like his hero dear leader. And its already known he's an anti-masker who of course attended the dud rally in Tulsa without a mask and then later caught the 'rona himself. Oh, and he also purchased $2 million worth of hydroxychloroquine with taxpayer money when dear leader was promoting it in March. It never ends with this fuckhead. I just can't anymore.
SpoilerLosing Streak: Oklahoma’s Tribes Win the Gaming Battle Against Governor Stitt
July 30, 2020

Even though Governor Kevin Stitt claims to have some Native blood in him, he seemingly has it out for the Indigenous people of Oklahoma, with his attack on Oklahoma’s Native-owned casinos his most devious attempt yet. But, with all the judgments against him from the Supreme Courts to the Supreme Being, it seems that all his hate is working against him lately.
This week, the Indigenous people of Oklahoma were given yet another win against him, this time in the form of a ruling on the controversial tribal gaming compacts. In a long-standing deal with Oklahoma, Native tribes pay the state over $140 million dollars a year in gaming exclusivity fees, something that Stitt and his cronies thought should be more. A lot more.
Using well over $1.5 million dollars of our state’s money to fight the tribes and this honorable agreement, the courts effectively told Stitt to go to Hell in another landmark decision stating that the compacts automatically renewed this January when no new agreements with the state were reached. I guess someone should have explained “automatically renew” to Stitt.
“This is a strong affirmation of what we have known all along,” Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton said in response to the verdict. “The plain language of the compact stated that it renewed on January 1, 2020. We are grateful this issue has been resolved and are ready to put it behind us. We look forward to continuing to serve our tribal members by providing health care, education and jobs in the communities where we live and work.”
The main criticism I’ve heard from supporters of Stitt and his anti-Indian antics is that the tribes earn over $4.5 billion in revenue from gaming and, with that much revenue, they can afford a couple more million dollars to spare—which is rich considering how much land the government has stolen from original owners of this state. You’re lucky we’re giving you what we’re giving you, Stitt.
And besides…is it really our fault if many Oklahomans like to gamble their paychecks away?
Money earned by the casinos goes into each and every tribe and rightfully supports tribal members when our own government wouldn’t. From gym shoes when I was in middle school to the health care that is currently keeping me alive, I’m living proof of where all those slot machine dollars go, as are thousands of Oklahoma Natives.
But, still, Stitt seems to have a vendetta against the Indigenous people of this land, people that he claims to be a part of. If he doesn’t spend more of our tax-dollars attempting to find some loopholes around this decision, I’m sure he’ll figure out some other intrusive ways to screw over the Natives of Oklahoma, all in the name of pathetic payback.
And I’m sure we’ll beat him down again, unless the Creator does it first with the Covid-19…but I’m sure some hydroxychloroquine will clear that right up.

Hillary had 30 years of baggage, a lot of it unfair and sexist, but baggage nonetheless. Harris has much less. My only concern with her is her prosecutorial record in a time where many on the left are finally aware of injustices in law enforcement and prosecutions. Rice would have some baggage on the middle east wars (and Benghazi but fuck republicans on that one), so it's sort of even. I think Harris' is easier to overcome and her "ambition" is a good thing. Either way, I hope the "baggage" doesn't play a role here because republicans will shit on whoever it is for any reason. Stop letting them direct the democratic party.

I sometimes wonder how wild it would have been if we had only had one large university, like Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, etc.
There are (several times a season) weekends where there are 60K in Jack Trice and 70K in Kinnick on the same day.
I sometimes wonder the same thing about Oklahoma. Would I have become a dickeater if it was the only major university in the state? I think not, because I certainly didn't chose my college based on the football program. But I did want to go to a large state school, so maybe I would have ended up in Norman. My Saturdays certainly would have been more enjoyable, especially since those assholes won a national fucking title my freshman year when my school won 3 games, only one in conference (Baylor when they were worse than us before art briles brought in the rapists). I think it's more likely I would have ended up at Arkansas or UT (I considered both and had the grades for UT but I was an awkward kid not quite ready for the "big city" of Austin).
59 minutes ago, SnowAggy said:Roughly half of the undergraduate students at the University of Iowa are from the state of Illinois and iirc a majority of them are from the Western Suburbs of Chicago. Very many kids come down from Minneapolis and up from Kansas City to ISU.
UI and ISU (both AAU institutions) are really good values for the educations we provide. Excellent engineering / agronomy / vet med / design at ISU and excellent writing / business / law / medicine at UI. Personally, I'd only consider Illinois a stronger architecture programs of any of our neighbors and ISU the strongest in the Big 12 besides UT.
I don't think it's half or anywhere close, but a bunch of OSU and OU kids are from Texas. I suspect they either couldn't get into UT or just wanted to get away from their families for college. It never bothered me since I'm a Texas native, but it sure drove some of the homegrown okies crazy when the Texas kids would come in with their Texas flags and Texas pride to school in Oklahoma.

Ugh, so fucking stupid. The block of UT and another texas school (I say TCU), OU, OSU, KU, KSU, ISU,. All are more valuable in football (and basketball too for some) than Rutgers, Maryland, Northwestern, Purdue, and maybe even Indiana (football at least) and Illinois. Unless they want to go for a super mega conference, adding only KU and OU seems really stupid, especially by killing the OU-Texas rivalry, Bedlam, KU-KSU, and we've seen enough rivalry killing already.

Yes, especially since this is our last chance at any real success with him, since he'll be faced with negative recruiting as long as he's here, because of his fat fucking mouth.

I mean, the conference sends it to you, it's not like aggy making a ring to commemorate a single game. We have a division trophy from 2010 when we tied ou and aggy with ou winning the tiebreaker. It's not like you throw it in the trash, it's in the trophy case for what it is, a division tie. The 1945 national championship claim bothers me, but whatever, it's not like we have much real history to be proud of in football.

Since I can't say this in the CFB thread, I just want to say, Fuck Trump, and Fuck Every Republican for downplaying this shit for the sake of "economy" and now there's no way it can be contained before the college football season. If we had spent $2 trillion or whatever was available to crush this thing (paying people to shelter in place, massive testing initiative, contract tracing, etc.) we might be able to return to some sort of normalcy, or it would at least be contained enough to play college sports. I'm just sick of this shit. My alma mater has its best team in years, and it's all gone. Fuck trump and fuck you if you support him.

The man's a racist. It is known. He is a clownshow and would have distracted from the rememberance of a great man. His approval rating probably improved by not attending. Because our country is full of racists who like that racist piece of human garbage.
