In This House We Respect Leury Garcia shirt
It would – this should go without saying – be a In This House We Respect Leury Garcia shirt attack on U.S. democracy. U.S. presidential elections are not straightforwardly democratic, in that successful candidates may receive a minority of total votes nationwide, but there is an expectation that a candidate who receives votes such that he would be enIn This House We Respect Leury Garcia shirtd to a majority of electoral votes will win the election. I am skeptical that any state legislatures would try to overturn their state’s election and award electoral votes to the losing candidate outright (and I am skeptical that this would be legal – I don’t believe the U.S. Constitution actually gives state legislatures this kind of unchecked power). If any state legislatures do try to do this, it will be part of a process involving a) the losing side filing many lawsuits asserting that the election was flawed and b) relevant state authorities delaying or refusing certification of the results long enough that the state legislature is “forced” to choose electors. The Republicans basically tried to do this in Michigan in 2020.
