If Only Republican Legislators Had The Courage

 Where there is a will, there is a way. If the Republican Party is willing to fight, Donald Trump can win a second term without needing to win a single recount or court case.

Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution states that “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress . . . ” (Emphasis added.)

The manner of appointing electors is left entirely to the state legislatures. The constitutional text could not be any clearer.

Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia all have Republican-controlled legislatures. If these bodies so wished, they could appoint new slates of electors that would elect Donald Trump in the vote of the Electoral College. https://amgreatness.com/2020/11/13/how-republican-state-legislatures-can-re-elect-trump/
