Is there any chance the Pennsylvania state legislature ...

... will try to overrule the popular vote in Pennsylvania and appoint their own slate of Republican electors? My instincts tell me they wouldn't DARE try something so outrageous, but, well, they are Republicans.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but I think we need to be prepared to deal with any possible Republican dirty tricks, because, I repeat, they are Republicans.

I don’t want to get into all the details but, even if they tried, the governor would send a Biden slate of electors, and the Constitution specifies they are to be accepted.
