“Leaders of the effort, mainly Democrats, have plans to challenge laws in the 29 states that force electors to support their party’s candidate. Those laws have never been tested, leaving some constitutional experts to argue they’re in conflict with the founders’ intention to establish a body that can evaluate the fitness of candidates for office and vote accordingly.”

So, when did liberals become enamored of the concept of “original intent”. I thought liberals believed in the “living constitution”.

The feds have no legal authority over the states’ management of their own electors.

At least that’s the way I see it.

Do these dopes really believe that electors in the 29 states that force electors to support their party's candidate actually cast their electoral votes to avoid criminal prosecution? LMAO.

It's not like we've seen a flood of cases in the other 21 states where electors vote for Ronald McDonald or Jay-Z instead of their own party's candidate.
