State Legislatures could name Electors?

Bud: Trump does not need the Courts to declare anything. He merely needs enough legal disputes, to run the clock into December. The Constitution says in case of election disputes that bar automatic determination of Electors, the State Legislatures will determine the respective State Electors. The State Legislatures of AZ, PA, MI are all GOP, they can name Electors.

Never happen. Republicans are way to gentlemanly - and intimidated by the media.

While i agree with you i would remind the Legislature the people they are protecting are the same people that elected them into office.

Doesn’t really take courage.

Who could stop them?

Florida didn’t have a problem this year after Brenda Snipes was told to take a hike.

Roberts would likely step in to stop all legal challenges at that point. Not saying that’s good. Just saying that’s what he would do.

Yep! It’s called the 12th Amendment. The authors in the 1700s were much smarter than some believe.

Let’s do it. America is over, it is time to move on. We haven’t had truly honest elections in a very long time. Let’s get our President re-elected, then I have four more years to get ready for the necessary American divorce.

The alternative, is to accept Communism, which I will never do.

If there is widespread evidence of fraud in Senate races, could state legislators also declare those void? It's obvious for example that John James is being robbed, so at minimum the MI legislature should challenge the legitimacy of Peters retaining his seat.

That could go to SCOTUS and at least set a precedent that would give momentum to those of us who support repealing the 17th Amendment.

true, but it is a lot less scary than letting the D’s steal the election and even worse, install the short-timer Biden (Trojan Horse) and the real Presidential Puppet the (Ineligible) Anti-American Harris

perhaps had the D’s run a reasonable and sane ticket I would oppose correcting their election theft. But of course they didnt, and so the constitutional method of (where necessary) state legislators selecting the electors should definitely be followed. We have a US Constitution for a purpose (something the DNC thinks is only for target practice) and our republic’s founders did provide for this for us

“don’t know if i am a fan of this happening.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You need to be a fan of ANY and EVERY legal method to keep Democrats from getting elected to any office, or advance any of their legislation.

Wouldn't the courts have to declare the disputes enough to bar determination? Trump claiming that it was rigged is probably not enough to trigger that I would assume. And Trump's track record in the courts this week has not been very successful.

The Constitution says no such thing. It says:

“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors...”

....Rs that have the courage to do that?

They were elected by Republicans. I'd not want to face the angry Trump voters if they failed to do their duty.

Earlier today, saw on one of the election websites, don't remember which one, a county map of Pennsylvania marked blue or red for each county. Only the two counties that contain Philadelphia and Pittsburgh (and maybe 3 or 4 other counties) were blue, and ALL the rest of the large number of counties in that state were Trump country (red counties)! I had no idea ... amazing!
