…is just ceremonial. If a state passes a law saying they can send any slate they want, who is VP Harris to override that?

That of course is what the magats would say. Would the constitutionality of the state law need to be challenged before she could lawfully reject such slates. Just trying to think ahead to possibilities. This shit keeps me up at night.
