But whether it's a state or federal issue really is a side front that does not tackle the more important issue, that what Trump did was indeed seen as a coup attempt and he actually got into legally hot waters over it, contrary to your claim that he did not.
I would ask you the question again what the correct term for Trump's deeds is, from fake electors to Raffensperger to Jan 6 behaviour etc., if you vehemently oppose the term "coup attempt". You called some of these schemes stupid, but imho that just does not really go far enough. Every politician does stupid. None barring Trump try to overthrow election results.
I understand that, and State laws should only apply to state elections.
POTUS is a Federal Election, and Federal Laws should be applied.
And this is not the first time Fake Electors have been used. Dems have done it in 2 Elections and had no legal repercussions from it. Where do you think they got the Idea from?
I mean really if the Dems keep creating all these ways to bull rush their agenda's, and half the time, that shet comes back and bites them in the azz, once the R's flip the scale on them and then Dem's cry like babies claiming it's unfair. And I'm sure the R's have done the same as well.
If both sides would just stop trying to 1up each other, and vote based on what's best then it would be a great system. but alas, it's Effed as is.
