FWIW

Trouble understanding?

1) Electors are selected by the campaigns/parties early in the year.

2) Each candidate has their own slate.

3) When you voted on 11/3 for POTUS, you voted 4 that candidate's Elector slate.

4) The winner of the state PV wins the slate.

5) Since we have a contested election in certain states, the Trump Campaign, along with certain state officials, are going to have the Trump slate of electors cast their ballots - at least in NV - for Trump as if they were already certified.

6) Professor Eastman suggested this.

7) This is what Democrats did in Hawaii during Election 1960. It is actually a Dem strategy.

8) The idea is to avoid having the Trump electors miss the vote on Dec. 14

9) Then, the Trump team have until at least 1/6 to have their electors certified, retroactively, by the SLs.

10) This is what DEMOCRATS did in 1960 when the UNCERTIFIED Kennedy Electors, who voted in mid-Dec, where finally certified by January and VP Nixon counted them.

11) It essentially buys time and keeps the election very much on.

12) It also adds pressure to SLs 2 convene.

Pray.

PS Some people are mentioning the "faithless electors" laws. This is COMPLETELY irrelevant.

Both SLATES - Biden's and Trump's - are voting.

Biden's vote for Joe and Trump's for Donald.

A faithless elector is someone who votes for someone other than their pledged candidate.
