Congress will not accept Electors who have violated federal law by setting an illegal condition for appearing on the ballot.

You can take it to the bank that this will go to court and rule for the Republican party.

That’s how it works.

Congress will not accept Electors who have violated federal law by setting an illegal condition for appearing on the ballot...this will go to court


Congress does not accept Electors (for President), the House of Representatives does. Fact is, states passing these “see the tax returns” laws are all democrat, just like the states that are trying the popular vote gambit. So if the “progressive” states succeed in keeping President Trump off of the ballot and getting their “compact” passed, things will become interesting very quickly.

As for going to court. State legislatures can award their electoral votes any way they wish. They have, for some time—like pretty much always—awarded their electoral votes to the person who won the Presidential election in their state, but the Constitution doesn’t require them to. The Constitution doesn’t require a Presidential election, except for the December election by the states’ Electors.
