Legitimately insane to me how many Republicans believe the election was "stolen" from Trump. They're so attuned to the notion of fraud and can't see the fraud (Trump) right in front of their face.

Have any state legislators in Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia, or Pennsylvania gone on the record about the below paragraph? I have to imagine any attempt to change electors would be met with a lawsuit immediately. Also, why hasn't the Biden campaign filed any lawsuits yet on the transition funds?

> It goes unstated, but the theory is if the Trump campaign can prevent certification "state legislatures in Republican states could simply appoint a Republican slate of electors for Trump." This theory is also false. While the "Constitution does give state legislatures the right to set the manner for choosing presidential electors" states have "already set the manner: the use of popular election to assign Electoral College votes on a winner-take-all basis in every state but Nebraska and Maine."
