State Legislatures could name Electors?

Article II
Section 1
US Constitution

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

Nowhere in that does it say anything about limiting how the legislatures determine the electors. They can do whatever they want.

We disagree and I’ll not argue further.

I am a bigger fan of this happening than letting the D’s succeed with their massive voter fraud. We’ve bowed down in “gentlemenliness” far too many times over the years. If it was the D’s, they would do it in a heartbeat. Let’s roll!
