    The states changing their electors outside their popular vote is exactly what Trump was trying to do.

      And they’re gearing up for version 2.0. Shit’s gonna get weird in a few months.

      That sounds scary, but you gotta be precise. Trump was trying to do that after the fact, which would be a coup d’etat. In reality, many states have reasonably made changes over time before elections. Did you know that two states aren’t winner-take-all, and that this has changed over time? Wild!

          I was hoping for more from you. You wrote something that sounded scary but was actually misleading. You could have corrected yourself, because there’s value to what you were trying to communicate. Facts are important, my friend.

            I can see you have long term feelings. I do not. I wasn’t attempting to scare, I simply stated the truth. As such, there is nothing to “correct”, as you say. I suggest you go on your merry way, as will I.
