So I was watching a PA legislator talking about the end of the legislative session ending at midnight, and the technical problems of voting the presidential electors themselves. Other legislatures in other states are having issues convening to address the election fraud due to local corruption, the refusal of the governor to call a special session, etc. It occurred to me that one solution is, based upon the above precedent, to categorize the appointment of presidential electors as an electoral session under the U.S. Constitution, rather than a legislative session under the respective state constitution. Please forward this to your state legislators if appropriate. If this strategy works, I will glady accept an appointment to the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals ride herd there.

Article II, Sec. 1, Clause 2:
"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."

Cutler, Benninghoff Make Statement on Plans for Remainder of Legislative Session

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives will not be returning to voting session before the constitutionally mandated end of session on Monday, Nov. 30. Nothing about no "special" session will be called.
