Faithless Electors
Published:

Interesting topic considering it now looks like that is Trump's only option. There are a couple of swing states no penalty for casting a deviate vote, but Pennsylvania and Georgia are not one them. I'm not going to say how the Supreme Court would rule if state legislators would change state election laws AFTER the election results were known, but it would certainly disenfranchise those voting in that state.
Electors in most states are members of the candidate getting the most votes party. In Kentucky, all 8 electors are chosen by the Trump campaign and in California all 55 electors are chosen by the Biden campaign. And the electors in Arizona and Wisconsin are chosen by Biden's people. Both states have Republican controlled house and senates and if the Supreme Court rule to disenfranchise their voters, the 21 more electoral votes would not get Trump to 270.
FYI each states legislates how their state chooses electors. The Constitution defines what the electors and Congress do to decide the President and Vice President.

Trump and Paxton were expecting a Bush v Gore type ruling in their favor. In 2002 the Florida Supreme Court ordered that over 60,000 "missed" ballots be reexamined. Bush went to the Conservative Supreme Court and they said counting those votes would cast "a needless and unjustified cloud" over Bush's legitimacy, but agreed to hear oral arguments the day before the "safe harbor" deadline.
Trump, Paxton, over 100 House Reps, and 17 state AGs ignorantly believed one state could dispute the election laws in other states, but this Conservative Supreme Court rejected their claim.
