that would give state legislatures the ability to install GOP stooges as electors, who could give a state’s electoral votes to the Republican presidential candidate even if it defies voters’ wishes.There is also a reasonable chance Republicans will win both houses in Congress and that Donald Trump himself could once again be elected president in 2024.
That’s just conservative fearmongering.
