Have you been paying attention the last month? Nothing in it for them? It is clearly obvious from the last week that Texas believes they have a vested interest in Trump over Biden. Perception is reality, and most of that was in reference to the initial framers where adding some number of votes without it being noticeable would have been very easy. Even today it would not be very hard if the legislature wanted to, and that is what we are really talking about, not if any does, just if they could. Because when we are talking about the kind of power the presidency now wields, those who lose are going to demand more and more validation.
And Texas was told by the courts in no uncertain terms that it doesn't have such an interest, because it doesn't! The framers are centuries-dead, leave their aristocratic 18th-century governing concerns in the ground with them.
Allowing the interests of the states(any states) to supersede those of the people is, full stop, undemocratic and that's why the EC and the Senate need to be abolished.
