US Constitution: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors …” That’s the root of the problem. Seems pretty clear that @marceelias’ solution, whatver its merits, violates that provision, no? https://t.co/nnNW4T5CRp

Seems like a potentially big flaw in attempts to curb power of state legislatures to send electors they want despite offficial vote results: they won’t be violating their rules if their rule is that they get to decide! And the Const. gives them power to set the rules … https://t.co/PSQl1GOZVL
