The rats got the names of those electors and sent out the info. they made their lives hell. Threats, bribes, intimidation. Illegal and not a damn thing was done about it.
And Who could could forget the Hollywood creeps begging his electors to cast faithless ballots

The Electoral Act was changed in 2022.

Quotes from Wikipedia:

On December 22, 2022, the United States Senate passed the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022, sponsored by Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. After about a year of negotiations, it became as Division P of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which passed 68–29 in the Senate and 225–201 in the House the following day. It was signed into law by President Joe Biden on December 29.

Some of the highlights of the bill:

Identifies each state’s governor as responsible for submitting certificates of ascertainment, unless otherwise specified by state laws or constitutions.
Provides for expedited review, including a three-judge panel with a direct appeal to the Supreme Court, of certain claims related to a state’s certificate identifying its electors.
Requires Congress to defer to slates of electors submitted by a state’s executive pursuant to the judgments of state or federal courts.
Clarifies that the vice president cannot solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate disputes over electors.
Raises objection threshold from one member of each chamber to 20% of each chamber.
Prohibits state legislatures from declaring a “failed election.” They can now move their election only under “extraordinary and catastrophic” circumstances.

Notably, the relevant clause in 3 U.S.C. § 6 differs substantively from the original clause in Section 3 of the 1887 law, as shown below:

Old version: “if there shall have been any final determination in a State of a controversy or contest as provided for in section two of this act, it shall be the duty of the governor [to transmit a certificate of such determination etc.]”

New version: “if there shall have been any final determination in a State in the manner provided for by law of a controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such State, it shall be the duty of the governor [etc.]”

Under the original version, the clause appears to apply only in situations where the final determination satisfies the Section 2 “safe harbor.”

The current version requires a certificate to be sent regardless of whether the safe harbor applies. The difference may be relevant since Section 4 (now 3 U.S.C. § 15) prohibits Congress from rejecting any electors “whose appointment has been lawfully certified to according to [3 U.S.C. § 6].”

This is also good evidence that term limits don’t work - at least at the state level. There is little incentive to campaign for the person following you, however the dems are in it for power and NOT to do what’s right. One had better believe the rats have everything lined up for a generation.

The only good side to this is that maybe the state level GOPe has been neutered (perhaps the worst in the nation) and maybe some conservatives will take control in future elections. Also there’s too many scarlet red counties where conservatives just don’t turn out to support the state GOPe.

That's the whole problem in these swing states.

The RINOs know their bright-red seats are safe.

If they lose control of the state legislature, big deal. They'll still get their safe paychecks and bennies.

They'll just have to pretend to "fight" occasionally.

"If the last two election cycles have proven anything, it’s that Democrats hold an undeniable double standard when it comes to objecting to elections."
