(94 posts)The GOP wants to seat different electors inspite of what the law says
They want to seat different electors and have the US Supreme Court make judgment on it, hopefully in there favor. I suspect even if the Supreme Court rules against them they will still try to seat other elctors.
All they need is an excuse to do it.
If one state can get this done others will follow.
I do not care what the law says, this isn't about the law.
I have heard it over and over again the GOP can not doe this but that is exactly what they are going to try and do.

(4,379 posts)"The top two leaders in the Republican-controlled Michigan Legislature are expected to visit the White House Friday, according to a source with knowledge of the plans.
The visits by Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, and House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, will come as a legal fight plays out in the battleground state with President Donald Trump attempting to challenge the results of the Nov. 3 election."
"LANSING Democrat Joe Biden is the president-elect, and while Michigans Republican-led Legislature is investigating the election, it will not award the states 16 electors to GOP President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey told Bridge on Tuesday."
So he says they will not award the votes to DT, but he is now meeting with DT. Optics are very bad for democracy.
