Fox News host demands GOP state legislators override will of voters to put Trump back in the WH
November 5, 2020
By Brad Reed
Fox News host Mark Levin on Thursday demanded that Republican legislatures in states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin overrule the will of their states’ voters to put President Donald Trump back in the White House.
“REMINDER TO THE REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATURES, YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY OVER THE CHOOSING OF ELECTORS, NOT ANY BOARD OF ELECTIONS, SECRETARY OF STATE, GOVERNOR, OR EVEN COURT,” he wrote in an all-caps Twitter screed. “YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY — ARTICLE II OF THE FED CONSTITUTION. SO, GET READY TO DO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY.”
Although the state legislatures in theory could try to install their own electors to defy their states’ popular vote results, such a move has never been attempted before since it would very likely lead to a complete breakdown in the legitimacy of the American government.
Additionally, writes New York Times editorial board member Jesse Wegman, Levin’s statement misinterprets state legislatures’ roles in choosing electors.

I scoffed at this when I read it earlier today, but they were saying on MSNBC that there are rumblings that the Pennsylvania legislature is actually considering it (apparently against state law) & that Biden's lawyers are meeting with the Minority Leader tomorrow morning to discuss strategies.
They're plotting a coup.
