Ah k I was super confused and thought my reading comprehension had failed me or something. The dems should object to a random state just to not feel left out.
Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.

I thought the boxes that held the electoral votes were pretty cool and would make for an awesome board game box!

Re: Election integrity and the transfer of power
If it weren't for the fact that
a) McConnell is evil incarnate
b) He's spent the last 4 years helping to create the monster he's now facing
this statement might have been his finest moment.

Unfortunately, as I wrote, he's complicit in all this.McConnell warns Republicans about refusing to certify the vote
"We cannot simply declare ourselves a national board of elections on steroids," he says.
"The voters, courts, and the states have all spoken," he says. "If we overrule them, it would damage our republic forever."
He says he’s concerned about a “scramble for power” and says the “Electoral College would cease to exist.” Says “we can’t keep drifting apart...with a hostility for one another.”

I could have sworn I heard him call Joe Kennedy "John Kennedy" at one point during that speech. Which, I now realize, I conflated the the Mass. Democrat with the Louisiana Republican.

Too quick.

Yeah...normally I'm not this violent. But right now I'm more outraged than I have been in ages. Trump's speech a little while ago was my tipping point. I just saw a sitting president demand to remain in power after losing an election. And instead of trying to calm things down, he's stirring the pot...basically calling for civil war.

You know it is crazy because there is no mention on any of the big news sites front page. Tensions are incredibly high.
Edit: WaPo mentions that the police held them back at least.

US Capitol on lockdown after escalating situation among demonstrators
From Ted Barrett and Manu Raju
The US Capitol is on lockdown during a tense situation with demonstrators outside the building, according to Capitol police officers.
A CNN employee tried to leave the building and couldn’t because police said the building is on lockdown.
Congress is currently in session to count and certify the Electoral College votes for president and vice president.

Re: Election integrity and the transfer of power
Trying not to get too worked up over every breathless Twitter report, but the fact that this whole thing is being reported by legit news groups as a combat front live journal is somewhat unnerving.
Protestors have broken through East Front barricade, reports @HouseInSession

Protesters on Capitol hill steps. No visible law enforcement.
This is a bit different from a BLM protest...

CNBC keeps showing footage but not talking about specifics other than there being 1000's of protestors present.
Now reporting evacuations. Breach of the building. Suspicious package found.

I sure hope Trump doesn't want to walk around there with an upside down Bible.MarquardtA reports on CNN that he's watching pro-Trump protesters breaching barricades and scaling the Capitol. He says there is "very little pushback from law enforcement."
