For years most normal people have been frustrated when riots break out particularly in the Los Angeles area and the response has been impotent at best. But now people are going to learn you can riot in some states as long as you don’t do it towards federal officials/officers. FAFO

Yes, Congress does ratify the electoral votes for the President and Vice President of the United States. Here's how the process works: - **Electoral College Voting**: After the presidential election, electors from each state meet in their respective state capitals in December to cast votes for President and Vice President. - **Sealing and Sending Votes**: The votes are then sealed and sent to the President of the Senate. - **Joint Session of Congress**: On January 6th, following the meeting of the electors, the Congress meets in a joint session to count and certify the electoral votes. This session is presided over by the Vice President of the United States in his capacity as President of the Senate. - **Counting the Votes**: The votes are opened and counted in the presence of both houses of Congress. - **Objections**: During this process, if any member of Congress objects to a state's vote or votes, both the House and Senate must adjourn to their respective chambers to consider the objection. Both chambers must agree to the objection for it to be sustained; otherwise, the votes in question are counted as cast. - **Certification**: Once all votes are counted and any objections resolved, the results are certified. This certification is the formal ratification of the electoral votes by Congress. This process is outlined in the U.S. Constitution and further detailed in federal law, specifically in 3 U.S.C. §§ 15-18. The ratification by Congress is a critical step in the Electoral College process, ensuring the formal and legal acknowledgment of the election results for the President and Vice President.
