How can they change the rules so close to the election?

I was surprised by this until I saw that the state senator involved was a Democrat until a few months ago, when he switched parties after being censured for voting for anti-abortion rights and anti-trans legislation, I guess he'll be sitting by himself in the senate cafeteria now

 

[petee]

apparently it's not just one guy opposed

“Our governor had considered calling a special session of the legislature in order to make that change, but the votes aren’t there to do it,” said Fischer, who had signed a letter pushing the state’s governor to make the Electoral College change.

Deb Fischer says the effort to make the state a winner-take-all election is “over.”

Wondering if anyone here know the answer to this. Harris says she'll enshrine protection of abortion rights, but does that mean she'll need much more control over Congress/Senate (I don't understand this shit) in order to do so, seeing as Biden isn't capable of doing it now? Or is there another reason he isn't doing/can't do it? And there's no sign she's going have more control than Biden does now.

Ibdo wonder if it is just optics

Biden is seen as a historic... well if not fence sitter at least fence admirer.

There is a feeling that he just doesn't really want to get involved.

Harris coming out on this might mean it builds momentum. Polls seem to show there is popular demand so maybe all the system needs is pressure from the top.


I can never tell with American politics what is bullshit lies and what is bullshit truth.

 

[petee]

she may have in mind an executive order, but i don't know the details of how that works.

Doesn't that imply a future headbanger can just rescind by order too?

Congress would have to pass a law to enshrine abortion rights, which under the current rules would require a vote of 60 out of 100 senators, if Democrats keep control of the Senate and the House a law could be passed if a majority of senators vote to eliminate the filibuster for the law.

I think Biden hasn't pushed for a similar move because he spent about 50 years as a senator and is averse to changing the rules, also it makes it more likely that Republicans would do something similar to pass some evil shit when they eventually regain control of the Senate - he had about six months between Roe v. Wade being overturned and the Democrats losing control of the House in which he could have tried to get a law passed

The support of 60 senators is required to pass most legislation in the upper chamber at present. On Tuesday, Harris said in an interview that she wants to lower the threshold to a simple majority.

"We should eliminate the filibuster for Roe... to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom, and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body," she told Wisconsin Public Radio.

Not withstanding the stupidity of such an argument, it is quite a thing to ask for someone to vote for someone who is clearly stupid.

Its crazy to me how 50-50 these recent elections are....i wonder what the biggest electoral landslide a US election has been

The 7 Biggest Landslides in US Presidential History | HISTORY

These presidents (including one who later became very unpopular) arrived at the White House with overwhelming margins of victory.

www.history.com

surprisingly often
Nixon the biggest:
"On election day, not only did Nixon win a commanding 520 electoral votes to McGovern’s 17 (a margin of 93.5 percentage points), but Nixon became the first Republican candidate to win every state in the South, historically a Democratic stronghold."

Care to elaborate?

Please explain how Harris is "clearly stupid". That's someone who was an AG, a DA, a Senator and a VP. Clearly she isn't on the Dumpty levels of smart , someone who has to have NDAs everywhere to stop anyone questioning his academic prowess. The stupidest fucker to ever grace the annals of political history in the US.

An oldie but goodie, showing that the orange turd knows full well how to pronounce her name, but carries on behaving like the school bully he is. It's way past time the fucker was behind bars.

Protag is not worth engaging with. Either a troll or an idiot or, most likely, both.

Given their edgelord username I'd say it's definitely both.

It's short for protagonist. Edgelords tend to like to think they're the alpha, the main character, and everyone else is below them.

Obama's brain was largely empty. The Trump one is full of farts. The Biden one didn't work. Does Harris even have one? It is real bizarre, American politics is a sick joke.

I need to stop checking the polls everyday - it’s always ‘neck and neck’ and ‘Kanaka small lead but in margin of error’. I have this vain hope that half the US population will one day see that making a pedophile, rapist, fascist con-artist president is a bad idea, but it seems they never will. I guess we’ve just got to hope enough of them are sick, lost or lazy enough to not cast their ballots.
