You’re right. A governor could do that. It would promptly be overturned by a court on the accurate basis that a state governor is given no power by the Constitution to interfere in presidential elections.

You seem to suffer from a common delusion about an executive order. An EO is valid if it directs implementation of a power already held by a president or governor. If it goes beyond these bounds, it has no legal validity.

You claimed that a sovereign state is not bound to abide by federal law if it disagrees. I quoted the Constitution itself to the contrary. You wish to address this discrepancy?

O my god. Listen to you. Loosen your little lord Fauntleroy bow tie for a minute and follow your logic Torie. The Rubicon was crossed (apparently) by the federal behemoth long ago and this latest stunt was probably one of the final straws - hell, I don’t know - but you are stuck between, on one side, posting on this site, and on another side sounding like one of the screws that would be lining up with the fucking lawyers and flatfoot state prosecutors for their side.

You’re still quoting the constitution? Haven’t you heard? When the supreme court decides it can levy taxes, it becomes incoherent and irrelevant. It’s an arm of the executive branch. Political operatives.
