The scenario we see as the most alarming was made possible by the Supreme Court itself. In a 2020 decision, the court held, in our reading, that state legislatures have the power to direct electors on how to cast their electoral votes. And this opens the door to what we think is the most dangerous strategy: that a legislature would pass a law that directs electors to vote for the candidate the legislature picks.
Thw Florida legislature is trying to pass a law that would give Trump $5m because why the fuck not? Republicans have stopped hiding their motives because the system is too broken for the people to change it
Not really. Someone proposed that (absolutely ridiculous) bill, there was no suggestion it would ever get to the floor, DeSantis said he’d veto it anyway, and it was withdrawn.
Just because a bill is proposed doesn’t mean it has a snowball’s chance in Florida to even make it to committee, let alone even get to the point where a full legislative body can vote on it.
