    And ND is free to keep him on the ballot. If a state is acting egregiously there is a remedy for that in the certification of electors in early January.

    Maybe the actual fix is to make the college of electors real again. We elect not a president but someone we trust to make a decision in that college and possibly become president.

      Oh my, could you imagine the disaster of the certification of electors genuinely became contentious? Could you imagine what happens if the electors chose whomever they felt like without the general populace knowing in advance? It would end up being supremely corrupt.

        Eh, it’s certainly different. Most likely one of the electors would be president and the electors who supported them would take high ranking appointments in the administration.
