"Missouri is already talking about holding their electors. It only takes a few. It's NOT over."

That is our last hope. If enough States refuse to send Electors to the House to keep a candidate from the magic 270, it then if goes to the House with each State having one vote.

I don't have the stats, but I've read many times that a simple majority of the 50 States have Republican legislatures who would provide the one vote. If all stand firm or at least enough to drop below 270, that would give Trump the win. The House only counts the votes and has no authority to over-ride the majority outcome. Am I wrong?

Fixed. This election will be contested the reports from DHS and office of DNI (soon) will show Biden/Harris is a national security risk by early January this will come to a head.

Biden has 306 electoral votes. You really think any of those are not going to vote for him?

You are wrong.

It's not a majority of ALL POSSIBLE ELECTORS (270).

It's a majority of ALL ELECTORS APPOINTED.

So, a State withholding it's Electors simply lowers the number needed to win.
