THAT IS A TERRIBLY WRITTEN RESOLUTION!

Dear PA State Senator MASTRIANO, and to all 50 State Legislatures,

You don't need to "override" State Laws. The US Constitution gives current States' Legislatures the power to appoint their respective State's Electors. No State Law, No governor, No judge, No past legislature, No case law, etc. can usurpe that from the current legislature. The Governor, or any Executive officer/official/employee; does not have legal power in the appointment of Electors. Elections officials have no legal power to appoint Electors.

It's not legally possible for past State Legislatures(eg the PA 1938 legislature and governor to pass it into law) to deligate the appointing ELECTORs on an ongoing basis; and even when they do, it's still always advisory to the current State's Leglislature.

Governors play no legal role in appointing Electors; so any "bill/law" which requires his signature; or any State Consitiutional Amendment/law/words which gives Electors to the "Election vote" or by "Congressional district" or whatever is on it's face unconstitutional.

The State Legislatures do not even need a governor to call them into session, to do their Constitutional job of appointing Electors.

Just get enough fellow State Legislature officials together for quarum, and you can appoint your State's Electors.

...

Keep it going Pedes. SEND IT ALONG! A WIN & WIN Plan:

The US constitution gives PA legislature authority to do whatever they want, but the PA legislature in the past gave that authority to the gov/sos, so now they have to pass resolutions to take it back
