Do we ever believe the NYT?
I heard the news on the Mark Levin show tonight. He had a fill-in tonight and he mentioned it.

As usual, they made a misleading statement. The article says that the suit is over last minute changes made by state legislatures. This is incorrect; last minute changes were made by state governors and/or courts, not legislatures.
The distinction is critical, in fact the entirety of the case is based on the fact that the changes were invalid precisely because it was NOT the legislatures making them. The Constitution gives state legislatures, not governors or courts, the sole power to determine the manner in which Presidential electors are chosen.
Had the legislatures made the changes, we could oppose them and think it’s wrong, but there would be no constitutional issue for the SCOTUS to rule upon. The other races affected by these changes; races for senate, house seats, local elections, etc., also are unaffected by this — there’s no constitutional issue involved with any of them.
