Here’s where there could be real trouble. Suppose a state narrowly goes for Trump. But that state has a Democrat Secretary of State. That person might refuse to certify his state’s results.

I never would have dreamed of such a possibility before this year. But many Democrats don’t just dislike Trump. Thanks to the media, they have an irrational, white-hot hatred of him. Anything is possible now.

Leaning Right:

See this interesting item from Post #9 ...

If a state thinks it's in risk of defaulting on its Electoral College participation, then the legislature can exercise its plenary power to call a special session and choose to directly appoint their Electors, regardless of how the state's citizens voted.

This should give us a bit of comfort. The states where your scenario -- a swing state with a Democrat governor and/or Secretary of State either openly rigs the election or refuses to certify the state's results -- is most likely to unfold are the following:

Pennsylvania
Michigan
Wisconsin
North Carolina

I'm pretty sure all of these states have Republican-dominated state legislatures.

This is what I was thinking. Wouldn’t hold up in court though.
