The premise of the Trump people’s case is that there is such a thing as a “Presidential election” in which individuals vote, and that the people who are “nominated” and are “running”have some sort of property right to the outcome.
None of this is in the Constitution. The State Legislatures appoint Electors. The Electors appoint the President.
This all happened. No State Legislature whose Electors were disputed took that position.
That’s the end of the story.
Your brilliance is noted.
VOTERS elect the ELECTORS. I just used a pawn to take your bishop. GO!
Your grasp of the Constitution is shaky, to say the least. Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 provides as follows:
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."
If a particular state's legislature were to establish that the "manner" by which that state's electors were to be appointed was by a plebiscite conducted among that state's eligible citizens, then that's how it would work, perfectly consistent with the Constitution, in that particular state.
Even in the very first presidential election, in 1788-89, a number of the states (not all, but some) "appointed" their electors by the manner of a popular vote.
