Matt Margolis:
While polls indicate that American voters will send Donald Trump back to the White House in November, recent reports suggest that Democrats are actively plotting to prevent that.
After the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Colorado (or any other state) couldn’t remove Trump from their state ballot unilaterally, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) indicated that House Democrats would continue the fight.
“I am working with a number of my colleagues—including Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Eric Swalwell—to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment,” he told CNN. “And the House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it so, the House has already pronounced upon that.”
Though such efforts aren’t likely to succeed, Democrats have another trick up their sleeve. According to a recent report from The Atlantic, senior House Democrats are considering refusing to certify his victory.
Despite the absurdity of their justification for doing so, it would create a disastrous constitutional crisis. Imagine what would happen if Democrats established the precedent that the majority party in the House could refuse to certify election results they didn’t like.
[A] majority of Democrats support such a scenario.
According to a new Rasmussen survey, a majority of Democrats would prefer Congress not to certify the results of the election if Trump wins.
