re: #169 Hecuba’s daughter

Trump blusters about actions but I find it difficult to believe that they will take these measures. On the other hand, one should never underestimate the evil that Trump will inflict on this nation. There is nothing in the Constitution that requires electors to be selected through an election; the Constitution states

A Republican legislature could specify that a slate of Republican electors be selected regardless of the wishes of the electorate. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan all have Republican legislatures.

A Republican legislature that tried this could also be tarred, feathered, and hanged by the neck until dead. No politician who has just won reelection is going to argue that the election was invalid. They certainly aren’t going to risk it in a vain attempt to save a president that many of them privately loathe anyway.
