Our law says the electors go to the popular vote winner.

Choice of electors is statutorily not up to them. Period. So he can bring as many MI legislators to the white house for hamerders and covfefe as he wants--it can't change anything.

The court can order the State Board of Canvassers to certify the election.

It is shitty, immoral, undemocratic, potentially illegal behavior by MI Repukes, but it means Trump still loses unless they also corrupt the process in at least 2+ other states.

Chris Hayes All In there was a Lincoln project Republican that painted a extremely gloomy picture that Trump could steal Michigan. Then on Rachel's show a guest is talking the same thing. I think that SOB may get it done. They are also trying to pull the same
thing with the Republican legislature in PA. While all of this is going on it seems nobody has any power to stop it. How can Trump be
getting away with the meeting tomorrow with Michigan Republicans trying to commit what is a coup?

If that is taken from the Biden column (very unlikely) that would leave Joe at 290, still way over the required 270 to win the election.

Hard to figure what they're doing unless they think they can also flip Penn (also unlikely). But Penn. has 20 EC votes, which taken form him would still leave him with 270 exactly FOR THE WIN.

So as with most everything else with this admin, there are inept calculations. In other words, cray cray.
