      States are going to start sending Republican electors regardless of the vote. And they’ll get away with it. Bush v Gore already hinted that would be okay constitutionally, and we have a more politicized Court today.

      State legislatures choose their electors according to the Constitution. All 50 states currently choose to have a vote to direct their legislatures to send certain electors, but there’s no reason they can’t ignore those votes as far as the Constitution is concerned.
