Equal parts outrageous and scary! Were it not for the acting AG’s pushback, there is no telling how bad it could have gotten. Also, unless there is real federal election reform, there’s nothing to stop it from happening again. There is a lot of attention being paid to voter suppression right now, but there’s an even bigger threat to US democracy. Several GOP-controlled states are changing their election laws to give the power to certify (or overturn) to their partisan legislatures. This would give them the legal authority to ignore the state’s popular vote, and nominate electors of their own choosing.
