Shumlin has little to worry about with VT’s moonbat leg.

They have that power because they don't actually use it.

That is to say, unless the election is a dead heat and no one can say who won they will always go with the candidate who gets more votes.

If the legislature goes against the "winning" candidate it will quickly find its power to decide elections stripped away.

The same principle relates to the Electoral College and the idea that state legislatures should pick US Senators.

If electors or state legislators decided to go against the election returns, they'd lose the "power" to "decide."
