I think that is the key point.
We are in uncharted waters here and no one can really say “it can’t be done”. No one knows what can be done in a situation like this, so “what can be done” will simply be whatever they decide to do.
Individual states need to take bold action and take a firm stand to try and force the issue. If the states (AZ, GA, etc.) simply say “Biden isn’t president” there will be a crisis and it will be resolved one way or another. This should not be taken as one of those instances where “You have no standing.Shut up”. We will get what we deserve, so it’s up to the States and the People. “Precedent” has nothing to do with it, because this thing is new.
We’ve had 5 years of a bipartisan coup. The stolen election is merely one chapter of that book. So we have plenty of precedent for what outcome to expect here.
The state legislators are the swamp’s minor leagues. They are full of ambitious, up and coming politicians. Counting on them to do anything is a fools errand. I wish it was different but it is what it is.
For example … There was nothing that would have prevented the legislature of Arizona from convening after Election Day, and before the Electoral College vote in December 2020, and voting to certify their own slate of electors to submit for the January 6th joint session of Congress.
They didn’t even have to certify Trump’s electors. They could have accomplished the same thing by certifying the electors for a minor party candidate. If a few state legislatures all did this, then neither Biden nor Trump would have reached the 270-EV threshold to win the election outright, and Congress would have elected the President.
Bears repeating.
