Based on my basic understanding of civics, if these Republican Legislators REFUSE to send ANY electors then no one would get the 270 and then House and Senate get to decide when there isn’t 270?
In this way, we know the House would get to decide the Presidency. I also believe that in the case of a “contested” election that each STATE only gets one vote and although the Dems have the Majority of Rep’s, the Republicans have the Majority of states - see excerpt from article below:
“A 269-269 Electoral College tie or other dispute that prevents the determination of a clear winner of the presidential election would result in a contingent election, in which it would be decided by the House of Representatives, while the vice presidential race is decided by the Senate, the 12th Amendment stipulates.
While each senator gets a vote for the vice president, the House vote is determined by state delegation rather than individual lawmaker—so each state, from Alaska’s one delegate to Texas’ 36 delegates, all only get one vote each.
Democrats have a majority in the House with individual lawmakers, but Republicans hold the majority of state delegations: 26 states have a GOP majority, 22 states have a Democratic majority, while there’s a tie in Pennsylvania and the Michigan delegation has seven Democrats, six Republicans and Independent Rep. Justin Amash.
The House vote would not be decided by the House as it currently exists, but by the lawmakers elected in November, as lawmakers will be sworn in on January 3 and Congress will convene to count electoral votes January 6.
Congress has only ever decided the presidential election in 1801, 1825 and 1877, and if the House cannot reach an agreement, the 12th Amendment says the vice president would serve as president until the issue is resolved”
I don’t trust the one vote per state to go for Trump either even with the majority of states being republican dominated.
