“No state has sent a competing set of electors. Each state has sent only one slate of electors.”
Isn’t that incorrect? Didn’t GOP in swing states send its own list of electors?
In that five swing states, the Governors sent a slate of electors and the Republicans sent a competing slate of electors.
Both slates are unconstitutional.
The "manner" in which the states send electors is through the legislatures. And it's the legislatures that "direct" the electors.
