State Legislatures could name Electors?
Twitter ^ | Nov 5 | Luke Ford

Bud: Trump does not need the Courts to declare anything. He merely needs enough legal disputes, to run the clock into December. The Constitution says in case of election disputes that bar automatic determination of Electors, the State Legislatures will determine the respective State Electors. The State Legislatures of AZ, PA, MI are all GOP, they can name Electors.

Yeah. That is what Steve Bannon said as well, but I didn’t understand what he meant until I read this post.

Any of these places have Rs that have the courage to do that?

Never happen. Republicans are way to gentlemanly - and intimidated by the media.

That's true. State legislatures, if need be, can choose the EC electors for their respective states.

The Dems know that. They know everything about all the election laws. Nevertheless, the Dems are still desperately going to make things as miserable as possible for President Trump. TDS. Does any sane person on Earth think the Dems would do otherwise during this election year?

Indeed... party slate electors can be thrown out and named directly by the state legislature if they declare the popular vote rife with fraud.

“The State Legislatures of AZ, PA, MI are all GOP, they can name Electors.”

Wisconson too.

They were elected by Republicans. I'd not want to face the angry Trump voters if they failed to do their duty.

This may be an option, but it should be one of last resort, and considered very carefully. The precedent it sets could lead to (1) terrible, terrible future abuse of the entire electoral process on both sides, and (2) the inevitable manipulation of the “optics” of it by an apostate press that will use it to stoke the anger of the half of the country that hates the president. This is scary, scary stuff.

I guess Massive Voter Fraud is not scary to you.
Yet it’s happening hourly.

I think they should go that route if needed. Finding tens and hundreds of thousands of ballots 24 to 36 hours after the polls close is pure BS. Florida and Ohio got the job done on election night.

The optics of dead people’s ballots, statistically impossible 130K Biden votes with no other races marked, poll workers kicking observers out and blocking windows, and all other shenanigans, are even worse.

It’s too late for the Enemedia to try and shut people’s eyes. It’s out there and not going away. The public doesn’t trust the Enemedia anymore.
