    They might not care about democracy but they sure care about their lives.

    It would be very idiotic for any of them to put their lives at risk for Trump

    It would be hilarious, if they do an argument for getting rid of the electoral college could be made. If they don’t represent the people voting than they’re useless. Is this futile road really something they wanna go down?

    If they magically succeeded in this, can we apply the second amendment and use guns to fight tyranny here?

    yeah, about that:

    Supreme Court Rules State 'Faithless Elector' Laws Constitutional
    https://www.npr.org/2020/07/06/8851...s-state-faithless-elector-laws-constitutional

    The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously upheld laws across the country that remove or punish rogue Electoral College delegates who refuse to cast their votes for the presidential candidate they were pledged to support.

    The decision Monday was a loss for "faithless electors," who argued that under the Constitution they have discretion to decide which candidate to support.......

    Kagan's opinion noted that the original Electoral College system created by the framers of the Constitution failed to anticipate the growth of political parties. By 1796, the first contested election after George Washington's retirement, the system exploded in disarray, with two consecutive Electoral College "fiascos."

    That led to passage of the 12th Amendment in 1804, "facilitating the Electoral College ... as a mechanism not for deliberation but for party line voting," Kagan wrote.

    If this actually happened, the entire planet would **** bricks because now officially the world's most power military by far is held by an authoritarian regime.

    Say Trump does get those 20 EC votes, Biden still wins with 286 EC votes versus the 306 to which he is entitled.

    More 4D chess or Trump is not really all that good with math.

    Trump is making the case for getting rid of the EC.

    Surprised it took this long to get this post. Biden is Not hated like Hillary and there were only a few wanting to flip on her. A few did the same against Trump in 2016. His best path forward to usurp power is a combined effort by state legislators and republican congress members.

    The reason why it wont happen is because Trump isnt supported by the military. At all.

    Yeah, let's target the electoral college. As in, you lost by 5 million votes.


    Sue that. Moron.
