**NOTE** National Task Force on Election Crises report blows Levin idea out of the water.

REMINDER:

State legislatures may not substitute their judgment for the will of the people by directly appointing their preferred slate of electors after Election Day.

Read our @ElectionTask legal primer here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e70e52c7c72720ed714313f/t/5f625c790cef066e940ea42d/1600281722253/State_Legislature_Paper.pdf

And here's from the expert who wrote THE book on the electoral college, @jessewegman

Jesse Wegman

This is incorrect, caps or not. All states give the choice of electors to the people directly. You can't change the rules after the game has been played.

Only if a state has "failed to make a choice" can legislature take back the electors. A close margin is not a failure. twitter.com/marklevinshow/…

National Task Force on Election Crises report blows Levin idea out of the water.

Even well-grounded claims of vote counting problems would not allow Legislature to select Trump electors.
