Early Voting for President is Unconstitutional

Article II Section 1:


The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

It’s pretty straightforward. The “chusing the Electors” is what you are doing when you vote for president and vice-president of the United States.

The constitution grants Congress the explicit power to determine the time of the election for president and vice-president and requires it must be the same throughout the United States. So early voting fails on two counts:

1. States are usurping the authority of Congress to determine the day of the election by holding early voting.

2. Early voting days are not uniformed throughout the United States.


In off-year elections states have pretty much to power to hold elections as they see fit. The constitution is silent on elections for every other office. However, as long as president and vice-president is on ballot, there can only be one election day throughout the United States as designated by Congress.

The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost

Sister Wives' appeal polygamy ruling to US Supreme Court
SALT LAKE CITY — A polygamous family from TV's "Sister Wives" filed a request Monday for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case for legalizing polygamy.

Kody Brown and his four wives want the high court to review an appeal court's decision that upheld a unique provision of Utah's polygamy law that bans cohabitation with other partners even if the man is legally married to just one woman.

The ruling overturned a previous legal victory for the Browns in which a lower court ruled the law violated polygamists' right to privacy and religious freedom.

The appeals court decided in April that the Browns can't sue because they weren't charged under the Utah law. It didn't consider the constitutional issues.

Like most polygamous families, Brown is legally married to one wife and "spiritually married" to the others.

This was the inevitable result of the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling making gay marriage a constitutional/

It will be interesting of the court has the courage to take up the case.

Logic and common sense dictates that since the state has no interest in defining marriage in the case of gay couples it also has no interest in banning polygamous marriage and the right to privacy trumps right of the state to regulate marriage. 

That would be consistent with the Obergefell ruling. 

If they rule against the Sister Wives family it will be interesting to see what tortious logic they use to justify the ban on polygamous marriage.  

As a famous preacher once said; "The chickens have come to roost".

Clinton Contemptuously Calls Voters "Deplorable"

Clinton: Half of Trump supporters are in 'basket of deplorables'

New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton told an audience of donors Friday night that half of Donald Trump's supporters fall into "the basket of deplorables," meaning people who are racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic.

This has to be a major mistake. She wasn't winning the tradition blue collar voter that used the make up the backbone of the Democrat party and now she has gone on and alienated the rest of these voters.

Pundits are comparing to Romney's 47 percent remark. The only diffrence was that Romney's remarks were secretly recorded at a private gathering while Clinton was at a public fundraiser and knew full well her remarks were being recorded.

You may see whites voting for Trump at levels no Republican has ever seen before.

And it's not because they necessarily like Trump. 

They despise Hillary Clinton and it's a vote against her.

What happens if Trump and Clinton Tie in the Electoral Collage

The above scenario is a distinct possibility. So what would happen if Clinton and Trump tied.  

Well according to the constitution.

 if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.

A couple of things to note.

The house can't go rogue it must choose between Clinton, Trump, or the third party candidate with the highest number of votes on the ballot.  It's not very likely that Gary Johnson or Jill Stein will win even one electoral vote so the list is basically paired down to Clinton and Trump. 

Even though the House votes for president, each state only gets one vote. In all electoral vote scenarios the Republicans will control a majority of the states.

It is unlikely the Republicans would go rogue and vote for Clinton. 

So a tie would be a Trump win.
