Rasmussen Calls on Pence to Reject Electoral Votes for Biden From Battleground States


Rasmussen is urging Vice President Mike Pence to ignore the 2020 election results when Congress moves to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College next week.

The conservative-leaning pollster and opinion outlet amplified a column that begins with a quote attributed to Russian dictator Joseph Stalin, which says “Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” The article recognizes the meaning of the quote as “true” before eventually suggesting that when Pence appears before Congress, he could move to exclude the results from every battleground state where the 2020 election results were contested.


Come January 2021, Vice President Mike Pence will be presented with the sealed certificates containing the ballots of the presidential electors. At that moment, the Presidency will be in his hands. And there is nothing stopping Pence, under the authority vested in him as President of the Senate, from declining to open and count the certificates from the six disputed states. If they are (as more than 70% of Republicans believe) certificates from non-electors appointed via voter fraud, why should he open and count them?

When Rasmussan promoted the piece on Twitter, they did so by emphasizing that Donald Trump would lead Biden’s electoral count if the battleground state results were somehow zilched before Congress.

“The President’s position going into January 2021 is thus considerably stronger than the mainstream media would like to admit,” the piece says. “There is Constitutional language and historical precedent that gives his Vice President the unilateral power to decide the outcome of our contested election.”

How exciting. Anything cou;ld happen Ron. There will be a huge demonstration by all of us who've been cheated, that much we know. And don't forget the China hack. We're at their mercy. They'll go after the hospital sytems, which are woefully unprotected, to amplify the damage of the China virus.

Steve, what is this saying to you?

Rasmussen is urging Vice President Mike Pence to ignore the 2020 election results when Congress moves to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College next week.

Steve Williams Monday, December 28th 2020 at 9:13PM

I don't know what it means Ron. The name Rasmussen is surprising.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, December 28th 2020 at 9:58PM

Rasmussen is surprising.

This is who The Rasmussen are.

Rasmussen Reports is an American polling company founded in 2003. The company engages in political commentary and the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information. Rasmussen Reports conducts nightly tracking, at national and state levels, of elections, politics, current events, consumer confidence, business topics, and the United States president's job approval ratings.

Now you know who are The Rasmussen's and the paragraph is explaining what The Rasmussen's is urging Vice President Mike Pence to ignore the 2020 election results when Congress moves to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College next week.

Now, what is that paragraph is saying to you, Steve?

I nknow who they are Ron. I have never heard them offer an OPINION like this.

"Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."

The quote is ascribed to Joseph Stalin, although there’s little evidence that he actually said it. Nevertheless, it resonates as true. Certainly America stands in crisis now because of disagreements about the count of the popular vote.

But the President of the United States isn’t actually elected by the popular vote. He’s elected by the college of presidential electors. As I noted in a previous article, one of the most important questions in this crisis is whether the state legislatures can appoint presidential electors to cast their votes in opposition to the popular vote.

But there is another question: Who counts the votes cast by the presidential electors? If “those who count the votes decide everything,” as Stalin said, then this is the most important question in American history.

You can read with understanding, can't you?

Then in your own words, explain what is this paragraph saying too YOU:

Rasmussen is urging Vice President Mike Pence to ignore the 2020 election results when Congress moves to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College next week.

In your own words, please.

That paragraph is a lie Ron, as my previous comment proves. Alexander Macris is who made the case that Pence could ignore some States' Electoral votes, then Rasmussen tweeted out a link to his post, then Mediaite started the lie that you are now propagating on BIA.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, December 29th 2020 at 12:17PM

Steve this is no lie, this is the basics of this blog, have you read it?



Steve Williams Tuesday, December 29th 2020 at 1:29PM

Here is the Mediaite story and link you didn't post or link to Ron. Shame on you!

“The President’s position going into January 2021 is thus considerably stronger than the mainstream media would like to admit,” the piece says. “There is Constitutional language and historical precedent that gives his Vice President the unilateral power to decide the outcome of our contested election.”

Per the 12th Amendment: "[T]he votes shall then be counted[.] ... The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President[.]"
