Therefore, I see no enabling legislation that says that you can have a majority less than 270.

There's been some serious foolishness with this "it goes to 260" nonsense.

I agree. I understand.

Just telling you what I’ve seen in the statute law supporting the Constitution. Nowhere, no how do you see any punishment for a state refusing to hand over an elector slate. It’s unclear what would happen,except that while the Senate and Archivist can demand the slate, they can’t do anything. But a state court can and can order the arrest of people who do not submit on the grounds of contempt.
