@beowulf saidWRONG......as usual
Y'all are only complaining because their are more Red states than Blue.
If it was the other way around y'all wouldn't be complaining 🙄
We ain't bringing the suit.
This is EXACTLY what TRUMP and his
minions tried to do in the last election.
''Brad, we are only looking for 11,780 votes.''
...........Have you forgotten this infamous phone call?'

I think the ultrarightwingnuts here don't WANT us to know about this sinister SCOTUS case, I guess they want us to be totally shocked when we lose our democracy and find we are a republic, run by republicans and that will be our new normal.
Goodbye SS, Medicare, Hello zero taxes for corporations, 50% tax for ordinary citizens.
Total ban on abortion, gay marriage, ...[text shortened]... ds found to valuable for oil and minerals and they get kicked out to deserts.
THEN we get WW3......
@vivify saidThis elector system has got to go. this sucks. I guess the founding fathers didn't trust the people to vote.
The article states that this case could give state legislators the power to choose the electors. Meaning Georgia can choose Republican electors to vote in their favor even if the voters choose a Democratic president.

@earl-of-trumps saidWhat I've been saying all along: your political system has been designed, quite intentionally and quite cynically, to be a plutocracy.

@earl-of-trumps saidThe elector system was designed to keep demagogues like Trump out of office. It not only failed it's job it actually helped a demagogue get elected and did the opposite of what it was intended.

So yes, this needs to go. The Electoral College needed to go long before 2016 but even more so now after proving to be an utter failure, especially now that Republicans are trying to use it to overturn elections in their favor.

This is a major push by republicans to codify the idea a state can overturn ANY election they deem not in the favor of the ruling party, in this case republicans who are pushing for this truly disgusting POS law suit.
This lawsuit, if passed by SCOTUS would literally end democracy right then and there, allowing states to legally ov ...[text shortened]... hat is real and all you have to do is look at cases like Moore V Harper to see that as clear as day.
you are one stupid nut case.
@vivify saidLOL...you poor fools. The article isnt stating that at all. Each party chooses their own electors.
The article states that this case could give state legislators the power to choose the electors. Meaning Georgia can choose Republican electors to vote in their favor even if the voters choose a Democratic president.
What this is doing is stopping judges from changing/making election laws, that right belongs to the legislatures.
The 2020 election is invalid because of this very thing.

"But this Court has repeatedly ruled that federal courts ordinarily should not alter state election laws in the period close to an election."
That is exactly what the Atlantic was talking about: Republicans want the freedom to change elections laws even if that means gerrymandering or choosing electors, without the courts being able to stop them.
Thanks for helping me refute you.
@vivify saidno vivfly, repubs are trying to STOP federal judges from MAKING election laws, as happened in the 2016 pres election.
