Can Donald Trump be denied an Electoral College victory through the Electoral Count Act?

good morning ladies and Gentlemen let's do this one real quick um I've been hearing some things about the Electoral College and the Democrats trying to apologies for that one trying to um notify the Electoral College of in the case of a potential Harris loss I've noticed that the mayor of DC now has approved the request for additional security come January 6 2025 which kind of proves Donald Trump's point that the security is under control of the mayor of DC and the speaker of the house which means that his entire side of the argument regarding January 6 2021 is just 100% correct which is funny so let's say what happens um this is what I currently have in terms of my model in the Electoral College uh Harris wins Georgia by 02 Nevada goes to Harris by about 1.4 Trump wins Arizona by about 1.4 uh North Carolina goes 2.1 towards Trump Pennsylvania and Michigan both are uh 1.4 in case of Michigan and 1.7 in the case of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin goes to Trum by about 2 and a half half to three points Minnesota is four and a half for Harris Virginia and New Hampshire are also in that range between four and five points I have Maine at Harris plus one just so you all know so that brings us to 248 for Harris 290 for Trump so in order to deny Trump the presidency it requires two steps one try and see if you can get alternate slatus of electors installed for an example in Michigan and Pennsylvania that would be sufficient to flippy electoral college but with the Electoral count act that they passed through in 2021 you can no longer object to an electoral college or to an elector slate without uh I believe it's 10% of the House of Representatives voting for it so it used to be one representative and one senator now it's going to be 10% of both Chambers which effectively means that Democrats as a party have to object and you know where this is going exactly so the House of Representatives at the moment it's 205 to 193 in favor of the Republican Party these are just the safe States and the safe seats and the likely seats I haven't done anything with regarding the lean ones just so you know 37 seats up for grabs and then now I'm going to show you an alternate way of showing this so it's basically the House of Representatives but I'm showing you what the makeup of is so Washington Sur for an example isn't allocated yet probably going to go Republican but what you can see here the the Dark Shades is guaranteed majorities for the respective parties the lighten shade here for in case of Colorado means the Democrats have a four to3 advantage however the fifth seat leans Democrat therefore they probably will have a majority at the end of the election cycle Virginia is another one it's 5 to four however they're two seats and therefore the Republicans can be capable of getting the majority like vice versa Pennsylvania is there Michigan is there so the only state that doesn't really count in this particular Advantage is the Democrats in Minnesota because the Republicans have four safe seats the three seats regarding hanpin and Ramsey County are safe and they have Angela cags District which is likely Democrat so which means in the case of a tie a state cannot cast a vote in a contingent election Maine is another one where it can be a draw which means that Maine in that particular case would not cast The Ballot either so what does this mean a contingent election is in the House of Representatives where each state casts one vote so here we go as you can see the majority of states 26 of them have a majority Republican delegation going to Washington DC with Montana being the closest one oh apologies so because Ryan ziny he is in a technically speaking in a likely Republican seat if he were to lose you would take Montana off the list but at this moment I don't think kazink is going to lose which means the Republican have 26 States so in the case you can get Trump below 270 electoral votes and Harris below 270 electoral votes the House of Representatives gets to decide who becomes the president one vote per state and as you can see Trump has the majority so who would become the vice president at that particular case let's show that one real quick I have this one already allocated Montana at this point is likely Florida um I think Moreno is going to win and I think this is going to be the map maybe you can move New Mexico to safe but this is going probably going to be the map so what do you see Republicans have 52 Senate seats Democrats have 48 and the vice president is appointed just like any other presidential appointment in which particular case the Republicans have the majority assuming everyone votes for their party James Vance from Ohio will become the next vice president the only way Trump cannot be in the White House is for Harris to win well through normal Democratic means I'm sure the CIA can figure out seven or other seven eight maybe 10 different ways to prevent Trump from getting the White House but those are probably a little less on the legal side as John Kennedy so that would be about it for this video Even if you hand every single seat to the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives in this particular case they would have a majority in the house which means they have a capability of rejecting electoral votes that is if you also have majority in the Senate which they won't have so at the end of the day there is not going to be a prevention of Donald Trump from regaining the White House that's not going to happen and that's that there's nothing else to say in this video just wanted to do a quick one to kind of curb the Panic that I'm seeing online thank you k for watching see you next time cheers
