“ts not *whether* the states choose, but *from among whom* they may choose.”
Well now that is the million dollar question that has never been tested and I may have messed my previous post up by inserting that thought. I think I may have expressed the thought of a brokered congressional/ per state vote out of fear, because the question has been raised by rapscallion Democrats before; and if this race goes to the congress as I fear that it might, some may actually try to introduce the idea.
The 1876 race when one reads about it shows what the democrats were really after in that race. Hayes had less confirmed electoral votes but several states electoral votes were all up in the air due to disputes in the counts and the Democrats weren’t allowing black votes to be counted in some of those states. They wanted to avoid a per state house vote at all costs(might have reignited the civil war) so the Republicans had to make a promise to end reconstruction in return for the electoral votes that Hayes needed to win. Thus Federal troopers stopped the occupation of the South and a century of oppression of blacks began for them during the Jim Crow era.
But even RINOs know better than to cross 73+ million Trump voters who are out for blood.
(The MSM can lie all they want, but I guarantee you politicians took note of 14+ mile-long spontaneous Trump parades in New York State and the 94-mile-long one in Arizona.)
