Americans to Illinois Senate, “Go F Yourselves!”

No Trump on ballot, no Illinois Electors in EC.

That’s not how it works. The Illinois legislature is free to appoint its electors anyway it chooses. (Illinois state law may and likely does limit them to awarding Electors to whoever wins the state’s Presidential election). The state can choose who appears on the ballot—again following state law, including this tax-return business.

The Electors chosen will meet in Springfield and vote. The vote is then transmitted to the House of Representatives to be counted. The House can reject electoral votes from states where the election might be in doubt. The House is now in Democrat hands. Think they’ll reject Illinois’s vote? I don’t.
