That’s a very specific sort of question I never thought I would have to be concerned with. Until now.

No question that State Legislatures have sole authority to appoint Electors.

They all have done so.

Do the legislators have the will to follow the law? Which side of history do they want to be on? Because everyone knows that more and more evidence is coming.

Unfortunately, too many state Legislatures think, or at least want you to think, that they had the power to abdicate plenary authority over presidential electors when they allowed a popular vote. No. The Legislatures did not abdicate authority, nor could they have abdicated such authority, according to the United States Supreme Court's holding in McPherson v. Blacker.

Article II says state legislatures have the power to direct how presidential electors are appointed. They chose to have the voters in the states choose them. Can the legislature change the manner in which electors are selected? Of course they can. Can they do it after the electors have already been chosen? Maybe, maybe not. The courts would have to decide that.

there is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated.

You think it's a tax Roberts - chief subverter of the US -Constitution cannot think something up quick.

Why does the author refer to Michigan, when the linked text cites Wisconsin?
