Elections 2024 / Re: Trump has problems that are out of his control in five swing states
« Last post by roamer_1 on Today at 11:06:46 pm »I'd have thought better of The Washington Examiner than to adopt the left's language of "fake electors".
Hawaii in the 1960 election provided a precedent for having an alternate slate of electors if the outcome of a state was in doubt. No one held the Nixon slate of Hawaii electors was "fake" or had violated any laws. So long as there were live legal challenges (too bad Trump's people idiotically pressed claims of ordinary election fraud, rather than the elections not being held as prescribed by the state legislatures as Constitutionally required as the basis for those challenges, but challenges there were), having an alternate slate of electors was an appropriate action, and serving on one did not constitute fraud.
Were those electors approved by the legislature en-toto? No.
That is where the authority of electors resides.
