Hopefully they informed shit stain that with a Democratic governor, this is a fool's errand. Same for WI and PA. There's no way in hell they can push through a change in state law making this tactic even remotely possible. Even if they did go completely rogue and send a Rethuglican slate of electors to the electoral college in Dec. anyway, in violation of state law, the lawfully elected slate for MI would be there too. The rogue slate of electors wouldn't be recognized, since they weren't legally chosen.
