"A Maryland Republican who leads a right-wing coalition in Congress says North Carolina’s legislature should consider awarding Electoral College votes to former President Donald Trump before citizens’ votes are counted, according to Politico.

Rep. Andy Harris, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, made the comments at a dinner on Thursday, saying the idea “makes a lot of sense” because the western part of the state, a rural area where Trump is popular, is still dealing with the impact of Hurricane Helene."

      They know…the presidential lotto is rigged! We think that if we take our pick for president and it matches whatever the actual electors in the electoral college pick, then we win! But it’s actually just whoever the electoral college picks. It’s not like a thousand ants turning the steering wheel in a car. It’s like a thousand ants turning the steering wheel in a car that’s riding on a train.
