Here's yet another question:

If the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, then why did Democrats repeal the US CODE that gave state legislatures the power to choose Electors if the results weren't determined ON Election Day?

In 2022, the Democat-controlled Congress repealed in its entirety 3 U.S. Code § 2.Failure to make choice on prescribed day. This section allowed the state legislature to choose its Electors in the event that the election was not resolved ON ELECTION DAY.

Original text of 3 U.S. Code § 2.Failure to make choice on prescribed day:

Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.

In states where the Democrats were holding up counting the votes, taking days to receive mail-in votes, looking to disqualify votes, etc., it was US CODE that the state legislatures could put an immediate stop to it and simply declare the Electors on their own.

It's too bad that Republican-controlled state legislatures didn't use this power, or at least speak out in defense of people claiming to be alternative electors. All it would have taken from such states is a vote of the legislature in support of the alternative slate at any point prior to meeting in the Electoral College.

By removing this section from Title 3, Democrats have legalized delaying the returns for weeks while they keep finding votes.

They must have known they stole the election because they removed the law that gave the states the power to stop the steal if it takes several days to complete.

The US Code (Congress) has no authority over the appointment of Electors by State Legislatures.

Congress has Article I (and Amendment XVII) authority to legislate rules governing elections for Members of Congress and Senators.

They have no such authority over how State Legislatures appoint their electors. Stop pretending that they do.
