re: #8 KGxvi
Who is going to be the first state legislator to suggest that their state legislature just appoint electors instead of having a presidential election? Not that it would stop the down ballot races… but you have to figure someone is going to suggest it.
that’s allowed and it could happen.
electoral-vote.com has gamed this out a bunch of different ways
(im sure others have too)
bottom line is there no viable way - by enlisting governors, or state legislators or in any other way that the numbers could work in his favor
their best advantage, if it is one: manipulate turnout
