re: #682 KGxvi

Yeah, and they determined that they way they would choose electors was my having voters vote for the electors. If they decide, after the election, to appoint different electors… I highly doubt the courts will let that stand.

Not to mention the fact that (IIRC), most states have:
1) statutes requiring the specific “allegiance” of generally-elected Electors;
2) specify particular and unusual circumstances in which a Legislative “solution” would apply (and none of them, AFAICT, relevant in any current situation), and
3) Many have penalties for “faithless electors”, recently ruled applicable by SCOTUS.

Legislative appointment of Presidential Electors hasn’t been a thing in this country since the early 19th Century (SC, typically, was the last, I think) - and that’s one old-timey tradition I don’t think is coming back,
MAGA-head bloggers’ hysterics notwithstanding.
