"The repugnant plan brewing for state legislatures to steal the election must be stopped

The electoral college count is going against President Trump. His efforts to overturn those results in courts are unlikely to succeed. So some Republicans — including the president’s son — are starting to promote a bid to have GOP-controlled state legislatures undo the will of the voters in states won by former vice president Joe Biden.

They would accomplish this undemocratic feat with the electoral college version of the nuclear option. The ordinary practice in a state where Biden won the popular-vote total would be that state officials certify the election results and send a slate of electors pledged to Biden to Congress for its formal approval.

But state legislatures that conclude the popular-vote total has somehow been corrupted could claim the constitutional authority to submit competing slates of pro-Trump electors and ask Congress to accept that result instead. That radical move would set up a potential clash between the House, with its Democratic majority, and the Senate, which is likely to remain in Republican hands. This bicameral breakdown would create electoral chaos and a constitutional crisis."

"This is a horrible idea, one that should be morally repugnant to every American. It is a direct repudiation of the well-settled principle that each state’s electoral votes should be based on ballots cast by its citizens.

Yes, the Constitution gives state legislatures the technical power to appoint electors. But no state legislature has exercised this mechanism since the 19th century. The long-standing practice has been that legislatures have ceded that authority to the voters in their state and allowed the president to be chosen by popular vote.

For a state legislature to reclaim this power after voters have already cast their own ballots would be an even more egregious intrusion into the democratic process. Federal law does not permit a state legislature to take this extreme step unless it declares that the popular vote “failed to make a choice.”

There is no such evidence in any state in the current election. It hardly qualifies as a “failure” if the voters made a choice different from the legislature’s preference. If the pretext is that the legislature must step in to declare the state’s popular vote a “failure” because of some unproven and likely nonexistent fraud, this ruse is as shameful as it is preposterous."

If it goes to Congress and congress can't resolve this election issue, then it's a constitutional failure which will bring a civil war.
