This means the president of the Senate will choose which electors to verify... meaning PRO TRUMP ELECTORS! meaning TRUMP WILL WIN PA, NV, GA, and MI. AZ is unconfirmed as of now.
This seems like too powerful of an option to be baked into the constitution. What stops any state from sending 2 sets of electors for any reason in the future if this happens?
It's not. The contested election of 1876 had this exact thing happen. Last year some Hillary electors defected for Sanders. There is precedent for this.
Can someone explain what the bleep this means?
