Id rather rely on court cases throwing out illegal votes and Trump winning states. I’ll never forget that in 2016 the left held on to the hope that the electors would go against, and always thought that was pathetic. I refuse to do that now

Forget the electors, the state legislatures have final authority, but the republicucks are too busy helping Biden win. They don't have the balls to Stop the Steal themselves.

If the courts fail the system with massive evidence of illegality and voter fraud and election Fraud by officials in certain states then it’s the state representatives duty to not certify at all and send no electors or choose the rightful electors (Trump). That was not the case in. 2016, no matter how much the left and media screamed Russia bs.

“It’s the states’ representatives duty not to certify”

Did not know that, do they vote on that as an entire legislative body, or is it a smaller group? How does that work?

Wasn't the left banking on the electors themselves to flip? We're talking about something else entirely. The state legislatures decide which electors to send. So there's nothing stopping a state legislature from a stolen state to say "fuck you Joe" and send Trump electors to the electoral college. Granted it depends on how the state constitution says they're supposed to pick electors (I think in PA it's based on the popular vote) Also I'm not particularly banking on this because even though the legislatures in the swing states are Republican it would take a level of cajones to do that I don't think Republicans are capable of having.

I suppose you’re correct: it’s a bit different because we know for a fact that some of the states have been stolen, rather than just “oh shock, bad man orange pls vote Crooked.”

However I agree that I don’t expect the legislatures to just go ahead and do it- I suppose my opinion is that if it’s the right thing for the electors to vote Trump they’ll be able to prove that he won the states in court. It’s not about optics, but It would be nice to have legal rulings to rely on

I believe the legislature can just change the rules around how they choose the electors before doing so.

I am not talking about the electors being faithless. I am saying the legislatures from the states can choose Trump electors based on them not believing the election had any integrity.

I think I’m misunderstanding- if the “official count” (I know, we all know it’s fraudulent but humor me) has Jim Crow Joe winning the state then wouldn’t the electors technically be faithless if they vote Trump?
