Trump allies are hyping a desperate, improbable plan to replace the electoral college with loyalists

With Trump's chances of successfully challenging the election result looking increasingly remote, allies of the president are talking up a wild, last-ditch attempt to ensure the president retains power.

The plot, which seeks to exploit an obscure loophole in American democracy, was spelled out by Mark Levin, a key media ally of Trump, in a tweet on November 5 that was labelled as misleading by the platform.

"REMINDER TO THE REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATURES, YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY OVER THE CHOOSING OF ELECTORS," he wrote.

It was a reference to the fact that votes in the US presidential election do not translate directly into votes in the electoral college, but via 538 human electors.

In some states, the electors are technically free to vote for whoever they want — though so-called "faithless electors" have only ever broken ranks a handful of times, and never in a way that would change the outcome.

Under the plan, secretaries of state in states for Biden-supporting states would block state officials from certifying election results. GOP state legislatures would then be free, advocates argue, to step into the void and appoint new officials to the Electoral College, who could ignore the results and support Trump.

Legal experts have been clear that the plan, though not explicitly banned under US law, has little chance of success.
