The adviser to President Donald Trump outlined the plan to undo President-elect Joe Biden's victory on "Fox & Friends." By Ron Dicker12/14/2020 11:56 AM ET
White House adviser Stephen Miller may have outdone himself Monday in pushing Donald Trump's desperate bid to overturn an election he has already lost.
As Electoral College electors in 50 states and the District of Columbia meet to formally select Joe Biden as the new president, Miller told "Fox & Friends" that "an alternate slate of electors" was hard at work to undo the results.
"As we speak today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we're gonna send those results up to Congress," Miller said in an interview, posted to Twitter. "This will ensure that all our legal remedies will remain open. That means if we win these cases in the courts, that we can direct that the ultimate slate of electors be certified."

On the Fox News Republican-friendly morning show, Miller continued to push Trump and GOP allies' baseless claims that the election was rigged ― even after losing lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Nevadaand Texas. The Texas challenge was tossed by the Supreme Court on Friday.
Trump and his backers have launched approximately 50 legal actions to contest the election, stirring the president's base but defying reality.
Asked to explain the elector plan further, Miller said:
"You have an alternate slate of electors in a state like say, Wisconsin, or in a state like Georgia, and we'll make sure that those results are sent up side by side to Congress, so that we have the opportunity, every day between now and Jan. 20, to say that slate of electors and the contested states is the slate that should be certified to uphold a fair and free election and an honest result," Miller said, per Mediaite, which called the initiative "wacky."
The votes from the Electoral College will be counted in a session of Congress on Jan. 6, with lame duck Vice President Mike Pence presiding.

I sort of think that is what the SCOTUS told Trump with their rare unanimous vote against Texas's suit to overturn the states in question votes.
They just chose to show much better class than Texas and their GOP traitors against our Democracy.
I for one have a nicer respect for some of the GOP members of the SCOTUS who Trump thought would kiss his a$$ since he appointed them. At least they showed the GOP lawmakers how to be real patriots and not Trump puppets, no matter how many strings he thought he could pull to make them side against America, our government, and its people.
Well done SCOTUS. Your vote will live long in American history as one of the best, if not the best, votes ever made.
The article doesn't say how the Fox talking-heads reacted...
Stephen "penis head" Miller is not playing with a full deck.
He is a particularly assholey asshole, isn't he?
He likely does not know what one of those are. He likely thinks it means 'playing with a full d*ck'.
Good ol' Stephen Miller. The 35 year old that looks like a 55 year old.
Miller's evil certainly does shine through, doesn't it?
I am 68 and even I look younger than him.
If you're alive, you look better than he...
Miller looks like he's been spending too much time outside his crypt.
I think he looks like a Putin mini-me with less hair...
Lurch's nephew.
Someone married that thing pretty recently. How gross is that?! Everything about that weasel is fugly.
Some Dems House Reps tried to play this game with Trumps election in 2017. No one in the Senate joined them. It wasn't any funnier then than it would be now. McConnel told Senate Republicans not to play this game on Jan 6th when Representative Mo Brooks and friends try it this Jan. It won't do anything but make them look foolish.
