The left is colonizing red local towns: https://thefederalist.com/2021/01/13/leftists-are-colonizing-red-towns-like-mine-and-local-republicans-are-clueless/ Here is a TED-Talk about how progressives should literally leave cities, invade small towns, run for office, and take over. Didn't realize this was actually a strategy, but apparently it is. And it explains a lot!

Matt Collins replied to a thread Rand 2024? in Rand Paul Forum

Typically I would agree but I think it would depend on her other risk factors. What is more likely to kill her, the virus or the vaccine? I would in general of course sway on the side against taking the vaccine by default, unless having a good reason to think otherwise. He isn't forcing it on anyone, he is simply making it available to the highest risk group in case they want to take it.

Can anything that Fauci says be believed? As far as elderly dying from the vaccine, I think it depends on how that is defined. The devil is in the details as always.

DeSantis isn't forcing the vaccine on anyone at all. He is simply saying that those most vulnerable to the virus should get the vaccine first, if they want it. This makes sense. And also the fact that senior citizens are a larger than normal demographic in Florida make it an important constituency.

I'm not an expert, but reading the first few paragraphs of that link it would seem that the law you have cited does not deal with the situation presented to Congress recently. Most specifically there were no conflicting set of electors sent to vote at the electoral college. Also, for better or worse, Congress isn't bound to follow it's own laws.
