re: #17 O say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave..

That’s the problem. Because the Constitution says, “The state legislatures get to decide how electors are appointed,” they could literally pass a law that says, “Only Republican electors will be appointed in this state,” and it would satisfy the requirements of the Constitution. Undoubtedly it would be appealed straight up to the Supreme Court, and with the Court the way it is right now… eeeeeesh. I don’t feel good.

I’m confident that a law that literally said that would be unconstitutional, even with this Court, because it denies equal protection to Democrats. However, what the Arizona legislature is doing is shifting certification of the election results from state officials to itself, and they would refuse to certify a Democrat winning due to “election fraud.”
