SCOTUS is not going to negate or reverse the election.

That’s not what they’d be expected to do. Their job is to rule that the defendant states violated the constitution by changing their election rules without proper legislative action/consent. An “emergency Covid directive” by the Secretary of State is clearly NOT a legislative action. Therefore these state’s elections should be ruled unconstitutional and they should be directed to select their electors in a constitutional manner. Either by a new statewide general election, or by vote of their state legislature. It won’t be up to SCOTUS to determine how. It will be up to the elected legislature of each affected state. And if they are unable, their electoral votes will be 0.

The only wrinkle I can see is if the individual state legislature previously granted broader authority to their SOS to be able to make such rules and changes without legislative consent.

I think it all comes down to this.

I already addressed this point in my post 148.

Thanks for that explanation.

IS there ANY evidence or talk that this has happened?? I thought they said that changes had to be voted on by the People?
