re: #83 EPR-radar

The Trump argument that the state legislators can pick their own electors is a farce.

It’s like arguing that majority members of a state legislature can commit murder with impunity because they could (theoretically) pass a law to make murder done in their state by majority members of the legislature legal.

Anything the state legislatures do with electors without first taking that power back into their own hands legally is null and void.

That is what I have been saying. The law in all 50 states says that the electors are chosen according to the winner of the popular vote in that state. There is no “takesies-backsies” on that. You can’t retroactively pass a law to allow the legislators to overrule that decision. For all their bluster, there is no path to victory by legal means, and I suspect that most people involved except Trump know it.
