Excerpt: The larger threat … is a scenario where a state like Wisconsin is pivotal in the election results and the electoral college, and Biden has won Wisconsin, but the Republican legislature decides to override the results from the election and award the electors to Donald Trump,” he said adding that the Supreme Court’s majority opinion in Bush v. Gore noted that state legislatures have plenary power to decide how electors are appointed...
It’s also a state where Republicans have made no secret of their belief that voters in cities are illegitimate.
After Wisconsin Republicans maintained their margins in the state legislature even as Democrat Tony Evers defeated then-Governor Scott Walker in 2018, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos defended the gerrymandering that led to the GOP’s lopsided majority by suggesting that the state’s two largest cities — Madison and Milwaukee — don’t really represent the will of the people.
“If you took Madison and Milwaukee out of the state election formula, we would have a clear majority,” he said while speaking to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. “We would have all five constitutional officers and we would probably have many more seats in the legislature.”
Alan: Yes, the title of the article above means exactly what it says: "It Has Now Become Clear Exactly How Republicans Might Try To Overturn A Biden Victory In November"
Furthermore, overturning statewide Biden victories is completely legal.
"How can that be?" you ask.
It starts like this...
Any state legislature has the legal right to declare electoral results invalid.
Yes, the legislature has to provide reasons, but that's as easy to do as getting McConnell's senate to do whatever the hell it wanted to do in last year's impeachment process.
And then, once the state legislature invalidates its statewide presidential election result, that same state legislature is the body -- designated by law -- to assign the state's Electoral College electors to whomever it wants.
"The Supreme Court’s majority opinion in Bush v. Gore noted that state legislatures have plenary power to decide how electors are appointed."
"Plenary power," my friend.
Try getting "around" that one!
It's iron-f*cking-clad.
Signed, sealed and delivered by The Supreme Court of The United States of America.
Ultimately, statewide presidential elections are completely in the hands of state legislatures, most of which -- through decades of bullshit right-wing gerrymandering -- are now in Republican hands.
One more thing...
God-damn "Christian" "conservatives" don't give a shite about Democracy, not even in its vestigial American form.
"Christian" "conservatives" believe in God's Dominion only, and are absolutely convinced that liberal democracies like the one embedded in the (overarchingly oligarchic) constitution represent an existential threat to God's sovereignty.
Consequently, "Christian" "conservatives" believe they are doing God's work -- indeed, they consider themselves ordained to do God's work by overthrowing these "upstart" "powers and principalities," even if they have to lie, cheat and "busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels."
Put nothing past them.
Nothing.
When it comes to trashing democratic process -- no matter what it takes, and no matter how they accomplish the end -- these "Christian" "conservatives" are as maniacal as ISIS jihadis.
