They’re trying to change the vote of the people for the electors of their choice, the method prescribed in the constitution.

Sovereign states can allocate their electors however they choose I believe. If the state legislature wants to flip a coin they can....if the state legislature wants to choose themselves they can.

If they choose voting by the people, then they have to follow certain voting rules. But I believe they can allocate their electoral votes in whatever manner they determine for themselves.

This is why I opposed the Supreme Court involvement in Bush v. Gore. I believe that the legislature of Florida (Republican at the time), should have been responsible for allocating Florida's electoral votes once the voting broke down....not any judiciary.

The voting did not break down. Florida had procedures in place for recounts. The Democrats did not want to follow those procedures. Hence the counter suit.
