That might just prompt Civil War 2 and would certainly be the death of the Republican Party.
If it were the Democrats, on the other hand, they would receive medals and have movies made about their courage.
The ONLY way that could even remotely be considered would be if the results truly were tied and the courts were tying up the process to the point where Ohio was in danger of not being able to certify its electors.
Yikes! Talk about “bold”! But would the SCOTUS approve?
When the number of votes tabulated greatly exceeds registration counts, as I’m sure they probably will, the state legislature will have little choice.
Ohio will be a landslide for Romney. Not to worry.
Obama will get Washington, Oregon, California, NY, NJ, and VT. That is all.

I agree it is totally legal, this is in fact the way it was originality done in most states for the first several decades of our republic as intended by our founders.
We have compete discretion in how we select and cast our electors. There is nothing that says there need be a popular vote, except in state law. (and in a few cases State Constitution) That is simply the way most states have chosen to do it by the 1830’s.
Please remember these are Republicans you’re talking about. Hasn’t the author learned from recent history that Republicans would have the guts to even CONSIDER doing something like this!!! Race riots in Cleveland, Columbus and Cinci!!!
Yeah, right. Hell, Republicans would be more likely to overturn a win for ROMNEY and hand it to OBAMA, just to keep the MEDIA happy!!!!!!!!!!!
