Yes, as others have opined, it isn’t out of thin air, and this is a good decision, because when November rolls around, there will be the almost unanimous chorus from the left that the electors “do what the founders intended them to do, to vote their conscience, not what the electorate wants them to do”.
Agree. Of greater concern, if Trump wins, will be the outright intimidation and threats to cancel or inflict physical harm on electors from states he won. At least this decision doesnt enable that behavior, though I dont expect it will dissuade either.
Right. There isn’t much I put past them...
