      Pages 81 and 82 are interesting. From Cheesebro:

      …the Legislature should decree that the voters of Wisconsin, due to malfeasance by election officials, have FAILED TO MAKE A CHOICE in the manner directed by the Legislature which delegated the appointment process to voters.

      …Doing so doesn’t disenfranchise voters. It’s clear that citizens have no right to vote for president. And it’s clear that if a Legislatures chooses to let citizens vote for president, the voting has to be done in the manner the Legislature directed – not in some other manner, manipulated by a particular political party for partisan advantage. So it logically follows that partisan election officials go too far over the line, the election just doesn’t count.

      …What I like about this setup is that there would be no effort to get the Legislature to override the will of the people. The Legislature would merely active proactively, to fill a possible vacuum that might end up existing, if a court later rules that the election itself violated Article II.

        “They’re not disenfranchised if they don’t have the right in the first place.” Imagine writing those sentences together unironically and thinking you’re very smart.

          Not just thinking that you’re smart. But also sending that to other lawyers and judges and then those people also think you’re smart!

          These people are so far gone that I don’t know how we ever recover from this as a country.
