Yes, I agree. I believe the law to be constitutional - electors are to be chosen in a manner that the state legislature shall direct - but most of these laws have escape clauses such as “a majority of states comprising the Union must pass a similar law.” Of course when the law produces a result that the legislature doesn’t like, and one state rescinds, does it invalidate the others too? I would say so but if you think Bush v. Gore 2000 was bad, just wait until the lawsuits on this one occur.

For Christ's sake - READ Bush v. Gore, SEC II B, paragraphs 1 and 2 ... It affirms the right of states to choose the method of selecting their electors - BUT PLACES 14TH AMENDMENT EQUAL PROTECTION RESTRICTIONS ON THEM WHEN THEY GRANT THEIR CITIZENS THE RIGHT TO VOTE FOR ELECTORS ...

READ IT - THEN TELL ME WHY 14TH AMENDMENT EQUAL PROTECTION DOES NOT APPLY SINCE YOU BELIEVE THAT STATES HAVE AN INCONTROVERTIBLE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE METHOD IN WHICH THEY SELECT THEIR ELECTORS ...
