Topic	SCOTUS to hear arguments for Trump ballot eligibility. Long line for seating.
Horith 02/08/24 4:49:37 PM #91:	EPR-radar posted... State legislatures have absolute power to decide how to pick presidential electors. Why shouldn't a state have the power to decide that its presidential electors can't be for an insurrectionist? The problem is that this is exactly the argument some stated have been advancing about allowing their State Congress to ignore the results of an election and send their own slate of electors. Several have been pushing to make laws to that effect in order to deny their EC votes to any Dem candidate that wins their state. Is that really an opportunity you want to provide more legal standing for, particularly swing states that have overwhelming GOP control over their state legislatures? <cite>Horith posted [p:978731739] in SCOTUS to ...
