MEMBER & GUEST INTERACTION SECTION > THE CONSTITUTION

All votes not cast on election day are unconstitutional

(1/4) > >>

Michael Bush:
Article II
Section 1
Paragraph 5
The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
----------------------------------
Election day, of course is NOT choosing the President.  It is choosing the electors that will elect the President. and "which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."  Congress is to set the day for both choosing the Electors and the day on which the Electors shall give their votes.  And it is one day that is the same throughout the US.  It's Election Day.  Not election week.  Not election month.  Not election months.

Mr Bush, has the allowing of voting on any other day, than the one day, (election day), been challenged as you posted in your OP?

Terri Yaki:
To whom are they referring when they say, "electors"? If those are the electoral college, it could have different meaning than if they mean The People.

Kathyp:
I think they get around that by counting and announcing the count on election day, but they have not even been good at that.  With all the tech we have, we are getting worse at this and not better.

Michael Bush:
It's clear that they are referring to both the election of the electors to wit: "The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors" and the voting of the electors: "and the Day on which they shall give their Votes".  There is NOTHING in the constitution that implies that the people have anything to do with electing the president. Article II Section 1 Paragraph 2: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct".  There is no mention of people voting or not, but the "time of chusing the Electors" is set by the U.S. Congress.  There doesn't have to even be an election per se.  The State legislator can choose any method including drawing straws.  However much they keep selling the illusion that you are voting for a president, you are not.  You are voting for electors who will elect a president because your state decided to choose their electors in that manner.  The state Legislature could decide that only they will vote for the electors and the people don't get to vote at all as far as the president is concerned and that would be constitutional.  You could also make the argument that the U.S. Congress gets to pick "the time of the chusing the Electors" so the States have to choose them (i.e. determine who they are) on November 5 since that's the day the Congress chose.  So any state that can't come to a decision on Nov 5 (the day chosen by Congress) shouldn't get to vote in the actual election (by the electoral college).

They have thoroughly sold people on the idea that they are voting for and electing the president.  The people are not, and never have.
