(1/?) Many, many people are on the brink of finding out, (the hard way), that the states created the federal government, not the other way around.

State legislatures STILL hold the ultimate power over elections, if they care to exercise it.

(2/?) The founders were leery of both direct democracy, and executive power.

Initially, Senators were appointed by state legislatures. The seventeenth amendment changed that. That's looking more and more like a colossal mistake

(3/?) After the constitution was ratified, it was common practice that state legislatures appointed presidential Electors, as specified in the constitution. It was some time before most - let alone all - states chose Electors via direct vote.

(4/?) If one or state legislatures choose to take back the power to chose Electors, (which they previously delegated), who's going to stop them?

Roberts plus the liberals may well have. No way five, staunch, originalists do.

(5/?) It gets better for our Republic, (far worse for you commies who whined about your mythical, popular vote):

Congress does NOT have to accept the Electors that any given state nominates, by whatever means.

(6/?) Yeah, so you ignorant 🤡s who think that vote certification is the end of the presidential election are sadly mistaken.

The Electors have not been selected, they may not be selected based on your corrupt, popular "voting" process, and the Electors chosen by...

(7/?) and the Electors chosen by your state, by whatever means, won't necessarily be accepted by Congress.

If this isn't all worked out in time, per #12A, a Contingent Election is held, by one Congressional Delegation PER state. Guess which party has more?

(8/?) Could we have faithless, Republican, Contingent Election, delegations? Absolutely!

This is one time that the utter gutlessness if the average, Republican, member of Congress works in our favor.

Plus it would take at least four such for Trump to lose.

That's not all, commie 🤡s:

Remember the part about the Federal government having been created by the states? Approximately seven states, (so far), are suing four battleground, swing, states over their election practices.

Straight to SCOTUS, on Article III grounds.

(10/?) [forgot to designate #9]
Time for a mea culpa. In my ignorance, I mistook a deadline for the states to respond for a hearing date.

I STILL think that it's extraordinarily unlike that Alito would have ordered states to respond, on a matter SCOTUS wasn't going to hear.

(11/11) Do I think Trump's reelection is in the bag? Of course not! This is 2020 after all, and pretty much every week brings new revelations of the depth and breadth of corruption, throughout our government.

I WILL say that it is nowhere near certain that Buden won, either.
