There is a four-member coalition which desires to seize, or has seized, control of the process by which a President is chosen.
The four members are the media, the pollsters, the consultants, and the donors.
The ACTUAL authorities with LEGITIMATE interests are the State Legislatures, who have plenary power to appoint the electors (except for the three electors Congress granted itself in 1960 by Constitutional amendment), and the voters in those States if the Legislature has provided for appointment of electors by voting.
It is vitally important that all four elements’ participation in the choice of a President - media, pollsters, consultants, and donors - be ended as soon as possible.
