I had a dream a few nights ago which has me thinking along lines which I had previously not considered. The time frame was shortly after the November 2024 election cycle which did not occur. There was no reason given in this dream for why the elections were not held. Whether they were postponed, canceled or martial law declared was not shown to me. What I did understand was that the announcement was not a last minute one.
What I do know is that was enough time for people to organize elections without the consent of the federal government. Whether the individual states participating in these ad hoc elections had the consent of the state (governor and/or secretary of state) was not known. What I do know is that most people in the Liberty movement did not assign much hope to this course of action.
Since the individual states determine their election process under Article II, Section 1 for the President, the method of choosing representatives to vote in the electoral college does not stipulate whether the process is suspended if elections are suspended. As with most people (including me) in the country, this seemed a weak argument in a government ruled by a Deep State tyranny.
The time frame of the dream was just after the ad hoc elections were held. I got the impression that not all states participated. However, the news broke in the dream that the state of Georgia recognized the results of this elections and would send representatives to Washington, D.C. to vote for the new President.
Another dream where I had never imagined the scenario previously (including the winner of the Georgia election – Ron Paul). In this dream, people were wondering how many states would be required to send representatives to the electoral college to be valid? Could one state determine the President if no other states participated? I did get the impression that there were other states that had elections and were considering validating their legitimacy.
While this is just a dream, I would give favorable odds that there will not be an election for President this year. Does it matter whether martial law is declared and elections are suspended or if the overthrown Republic is officially declared to be dissolved? Elections will never restore Liberty once tyranny assumes control.
I would like to hope for the best but hope is not an effective strategy. War is coming and tyrants have no compunction implementing a scorched earth policy when they are about to be overthrown.

War is here.
Ah, but you mean “kinetic” war…
I hope so.
I don’t take dreams likely, yes I’ve have crazy dreams at times. But the dreams that I wake up afterwards are the ones that think about to see if meanings to them. Dreams do have a purpose.
Very interesting.
To answer the writer’s questions, under the US Constitution, each state Legislature (without the need for Governor approval or court approval) selects how that state’s electoral votes will be determined. Some states may have enshrined in their State Constitution that citizens get to vote for President, but such are unconstitutional because a state constitution cannot undo what the US Constitution establishes, namely that the legislature alone may determine how the selection of electors is to take place.
Thus, the citizens do not have to be given opportunity to vote on selection of presidential electors. But by federal statutes, citizens must be allowed to vote for US Congresscritters.
Next the states send to the Pres of the Senate the list of those the electors voted for and vote total for each. Those lists are opened before a joint session of Congress and the results tallied. If any candidate receives a majority of the reported elector total vote, that person is the new president. If not, the House of Reps meets and each state present gets to make one vote for the candidate that the state Reps desire. If there is a tie among the state’s Rep’s, it is treated as an abstention. The candidate with the majority of the states voting is selected.
So, yes, in a very unusual circumstance the writer’s dream that one state got to pick the President is possible, although very remotely possible.
If elections are cancelled by the guvamint, that does not mean that state and local elections are cancelled. Additionally, the state legislature could still allow voting for president when state and local elections are held.
one thing that many I fear do not understand, is the difference between Senators and Reps. Reps are the people’s side of the government, Senators are the people who represent the government and not the people.
Now you’re talking.
But do people grok it?
war may likely be used as an excuse for the cancellation of election, Zellie did it in Ukraine late last year. We are on the razor’s edge of nuclear war with the moronic and bombastic utterance by Blinken that Ukraine will be joining NATO, that is the ultimate redline for the Russians. American didn’t like the idea of Russian missiles in Cuba in 1962, why should the Russian like missiles on the border in Ukraine. This administration is doing everything it can to fabricate wars globally. As the economy has been destroyed the only logical answer is war.
Now David, you must never eat just before you go to bed. You might just dream about voting and other such things. It’s gonna have to be kinetic. Worse than we can imagine. Much worse. Rwanda times Bosnia.
If the process is done in a Constitutional manner but Obiden refuses to leave office, the military could, and should, remove him. They are sworn above all to defend and protect the Constitution. I believe there will be war within the military itself in such a situation. Between those who took their oath seriously and the closet Marxist traitors.
IMO, the military failed in its duty on 20 January 2020 by allowing a thieving criminal and his diaper changers entry to the White House.
2021!
Does the Constitution allow the government to cancel elections? Going to have to take a look at that. I wonder if that was tried, if any Fedgov buildings would be left standing shortly after.
The Constitution is silent as to cancelling of elections. So if the authority to do something is not stated in the Constitutiin, one would logically conclude that the guvamint cannot do what they have not been authorized to do.
WHOA there cowboy !! Not so fast. You must think that logic and actual words control guvamint activities.
WRONG !! The guvamint is fully of sneaky swamp creatures who could care less about the freedoms of the Sheeple. Let me explain:
If a war was declared by both houses of Congress, as is required in the enumerated powers granted to Congress alone, that war starting legislation would most definitely create a power grab using a frequent guvamint technique, known as declaring a “national emergency”.
There are zero limits to what a rogue guvamint will do if given ultimate dictatorial powers by Congress declaring a “national emergency” as set forth in the declaration creating a state of war. That war creating legislation could state that the Prez can cancel any assemblies of persons, delay an election, arrest/criminally charge any who disagree with the guvamint’s heavyhandedness, seize firearms and ammo, terminate electronic means of communication, ration fuel and food, confiscate war materials like gold/silver, draft anybody for any length of involuntary servitude (slavery by guvamint decree), etc.
So, YES, all of our freedoms can be erased by a declaration of war or subsequent emergency legislation flowing from that declaration.
