I cited the Twelfth Amendment. Why will no one read it?

Here is the relevant sentence: The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

Note the threshold requirement: a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed. The crucial word is "appointed." So the 270 is not cast in stone. If any state does not appoint electors, then the whole number of electors appointed is fewer than 538, and a majority is fewer than 270.

I stand by my first post in this thread (except for my stupid math error). If the four states cited by Mariner -- GA, PA, AZ and MI -- refuse to appoint electors, but Biden keeps NV and WI, then the number of electors appointed is 475, a majority is 238, and Biden still has 243, so he meets the requirement.

The "paralysis" strategy is self-limiting. Paralyzing a Biden state that has X electoral votes reduces Biden’s total by X votes, but it also reduces his threshold for victory by half-X votes. Only by paralyzing all of NV-AZ-WI-MI-PA-GA could the Trump campaign deprive Biden of a majority.

Paralyzing all six states won’t happen. I’m sure the campaign is looking at ways to get Trump electors appointed in some of those states.
