Thread: In the 1960 presidential election in Hawaii between Kennedy and Nixon, the governor issued a certificate to the Republican slate of electors while there was an ongoing controversy about the vote count.
2) However, the Democratic electors also met and cast their votes for Kennedy. That's right, the Democratic electors ALSO MET and CAST THEIR VOTES.
3) The recount revealed that Kennedy had in fact won, but electors for Nixon had already been certified.
4) The 1st set of Nixon electors sent a certificate, the Democratic electors also sent a certificate (without certification) for Kennedy, and the governor of Hawaii sent a certificate for Kennedy. The third certificate by the governor was sent no earlier than Dec. 30.
5) The VP of the Senate, ironically Nixon, said it was the governor's electors that should prevail, there was no disagreement, and Kennedy received Hawaii's electoral votes.
6) My thoughts in light of the obvious fraud and unreliable vote counts are that 1) the legislatures in AZ, WI, PA, GA, and MI should send their own certificate, and/or 2) that the GOP should tell the Republican electors in each of these states to meet & send a certificate.
7) The Republican electors are chosen. They should meet and send their certificate for Trump and let it work itself out in Congress.
