VOTE!!!
Just as a reminder this is pretty much all for show :
Electors are nominated by the political parties in each state according to rules established by state legislatures. The number of electors by state is equal to the number of members of the House of Representatives plus two senators, according to Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. A senator, representative, or a person holding an office of trust or profit cannot serve as an elector.
A total of 538 electors will meet at state capitals on Dec. 8 to cast their votes. The roster of electors cannot be substituted after Election Day, according to a report by the National Task Force on Election Crises.
USA TODAY reached out to the task force for comment.
States controlled by Republican legislatures
Fewer battleground states are controlled exclusively by Republicans post-election. Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have majority-Republican legislatures but Democratic governors, according to election website, Ballotpedia.
Democratic Party chairwoman Felecia Rotellini consulted with Arizona's six congressional Democrats in selecting a roster of electors who will vote for Biden in December.
Georgia is also controlled by a Republican state legislature and a Republican governor, according to Ballotpedia. Biden leads Trump in the state's popular vote and will gain 16 Electoral College votes if he wins, USA TODAY reported. Electors belonging to the party of the winner of the popular vote get to cast votes in the Electoral College. One elector is chosen per congressional district in Georgiaby state party committees.
Aside from Pennsylvania, Republican lawmakers in Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin said they would not intervene in the electoral process in their states, the AP reported.
“I do not see, short of finding some type of fraud — which I haven’t heard of anything — I don’t see us in any serious way addressing a change in electors,” said Rusty Bowers, Arizona’s Republican House speaker, told AP. “They are mandated by statute to choose according to the vote of the people.”
Benjamin Ginsburg, a former election lawyer for the Republican Party, told the New York Times that GOP leaders would not support undermining the popular vote.
"The most partisan Trump legislators might, but I believe enough would rebel at hijacking their constituents’ votes that such actions would fail,” Ginsburg said.

Lessig said the ruling also sheds light on restrictions placed upon state legislatures.
"For the same reason that electors have no power today, legislatures could not have the power to appoint a slate of electors that was contrary to the vote of the people." Lessig said.
We rate the claim that Republican state legislatures have final say on electors per the Constitution and should be ready to perform their "constitutional duty" as PARTLY FALSE, based on our research. It is true the Constitution grants state legislatures the power to choose electors for the Electoral College. But it is false to suggest, as Levin does, that legislatures retain this authority after a popular vote on Election Day. A "safe harbor" provision of the Electoral Count Act dictates changing the slate of electors after election day is a violation of federal law.

democrats usually win in michigan by a lot. 2016 was just an exception
wisconsin is usually close other than obamas elections. gore and kerry barely won there
Pardon won’t save him from the sdny.
I bet those two guys got doxxed and death threats within minutes. I mean yeah, they are standing up for Trump. But if you start pulling up this shyt, after a tense election, with a divided America, do you really want your name to be trending on Social Media?
At first it might have been cool, but then their phone started to ring and getting these unknown emails, despite not sharing their email.
The most disturbing part for me is watching these cowards fall in line with the shyttiest takeover attempt imaginable. No wins in the court, no wins in the mind of the (reasonable) public, just one hair-brained scheme after another, but these republicans are still by and large supporting him. I’m just glad the election wasn’t that close because we can confirm they’d be perfectly fine with stealing it.Every elected Republican deserves to live in constant pain until they die. fukk EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN!
