"SNIP.....

Arizona state Rep Shawnna Bolick (R) introduced legislation which would give the legislators the power to toss out the Secretary of State’s certification of electors in a presidential election “at any time before inauguration,” the Arizona Capitol Times reports.

.....SNIP"

1. Idiocy.

Won't hold up in the courts.

[Empowerer]

2. I don't think this would survive a Supreme Court challenge

6. Not an AZ Supreme Court challenge or a USSC challenge. These Rs are good for one thing only

wasting time and money, and insurrection.

8. Well, Bolick's husband is on the AZ Supreme Court

So there’s one sympathetic ear.

3. Start calling them communists

4. "I pretended to be an elector!"

Fake Arizona electors vote for Trump
14 December 2020
... the state GOP’s 11 fake electors met, as required by no one, and cast their non-existent votes for Trump, as required by their desperate need to continue to live in fantasyland ...

5. This is dangerous because the Constitution gives States great leeway in choosing electors

Now in Bush v. Gore the court was "supposedly" concerned that they were bumping up against the safe harbor date (way back in December!). So I don't know how they would treat changing the vote in January. But I don't want to have to depend on the Supreme Court throwing it out!
