Right now, Job 1 is electing Biden/Harris (and a Senate majority), and anything that preoccupies us beyond that job is a distraction that only helps Trump.

We'll worry about him trying to take the election away from us only after we've done everything we can to make sure that there's an election result that Trump and his minions will want to overturn.

Everything else is clickbait.

Yes, even on the issue of state electors.

Trump has no say in the matter.
