After the presidential election, your governor prepares a
“Certificate of Ascertainment” listing all of the candidates who ran for
President in your state along with the names of their respective electors. The
Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential candidate
in your state and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting
of the electors in December of the election year. Your state’s Certificates of
Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of
the official records of the presidential election. See the key dates for the 2012 election and information about the roles and responsibilities of state
officials, the Office of the Federal Register and the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and the Congress

The Office of the Federal Register coordinates the functions of the Electoral College on
behalf of the Archivist of the United States, the States, the Congress, and the
American People. The Office of the Federal Register operates as an intermediary
between the governors and secretaries of state of the States and the Congress.
It also acts as a trusted agent of the Congress in the sense that it is
responsible for reviewing the legal sufficiency of the certificates before the
House and Senate accept them as evidence of official State action.

Of course it will be ratified. Are Bush/Cheney going to prison for obvious war crimes; of course not. Don’t ask silly questions.
They’d have to find something wrong with Obama’s identity but they’re not asking.
No one’s vetting Obama. because he’s black: it would be racist to ask him for his papers like a vulgar black pulled over for an ID Check like back in the slavery days. That’s over now. Being black is enough to not ever be put in accusation any more EVER.
go do your jobs and get this lying cheating son of a donkey out of power…..step one next start holding all political crimes as real crimes and putting the criminals in jail.
“…thousand of military votes…” Big f’ing deal.The military voted for Obama far and above Romney because they’d rather not be shipped off to another war for the bankers or oilmen. They aren’t stupid.
Why do people even vote…would those same people keep going back to Vegas if they lost every time out ???
