GOP rep warns House has final say over election after states deem Trump ineligible for ballots

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) issued a warning to states moving to keep former President Trump off the presidential ballot, saying the House of Representatives has the final say over whether electors from those states are certified on Jan. 6, 2025.

“Maine, Colorado, and other states that might try to bureaucratically deny ballot access to any Republican nominee should remember the U.S. House of Representatives is the ultimate arbiter of whether to certify electors from those states,” Massie posted Friday on X, formerly Twitter.

[…]

That normally mundane certification procedure in January 2025, Massie suggested, could be the mechanism by which Congress tosses out electoral votes from Maine, Colorado and any other states where Trump is ultimately denied ballot access.

[…]

He elaborated in a subsequent tweet that any move to toss electoral votes in 2025 would likely depend on whether Republicans keep control of the House, where they currently have a slim majority.

I could see where the clown car members could vote for Trump in states that banned him from the ballot. I could see them declaring the ballots in the states that banned Trump void and switching the electoral votes to Trump.

They are just crazy enough to change the Electoral College votes to Trump saying that the election was rigged. 

HOWEVER: The new Congress is sworn in on January 3^rdand that could be a whole new ball game if the Democrats win back the House and keep the Senate! Therefore the new Congress votes on the sixth to elect the new president. So this is more pressure on getting a Democratic sweep in Congress and the presidency.

Speaking of politics, the New York Post has an article about now laws going into effect yesterday...

BOOK-BAN PROHIBITION

Libraries that indiscriminately ban books will not be eligible for state funds. They must adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights stating “materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.”

I would like a law like that here but also add that you can't ban a book because of a protected class, such as banning a book because the woman in the book is having an unmarried affair.
