Electoral votes that are not chosen as prescribed by the state legislatures do not qualify to be called electoral votes, according to the Constitution.
******************
If the legislature passed laws that dictated that there is one day of voting by paper ballot, and that vote be hand counted. That would be the law in that specific state. Then if the governor, secretary of state, judge, or any other person or group set up voting procedures that violated the law, then by the Constitution of the United States, the electors established by the new rules (not passed by the state legislature) would in fact, not be presidential electors.
This happened in states during the 2020 election. In fact votes that did not meet the requirement of the states’ election laws, were counted. This on top of all the other skullduggery, calls into question the legitimacy of the individual serving.
Exactly. What was counted was NOT electoral votes. It was some electoral votes and some non-electoral votes.
We STILL HAVE NOT had a count of actual electoral votes from 2020.
