PA's electors are not in the slightest bit beholden to the legislature. They are selected by the winning candidate. As the law is currently written, meaning the law as it applies to this election, whoever is certified the winner of the election submits their list of electors to the governor, who is a Democrat, who won by a 17% plurality in 2018.

Everybody wants there to be all this drama but as I understand it, and I've looked it up three times now for panicky liberals on Hubski, PA votes go to the winner of PA's general election and if PA wants different votes it needs to overturn the election.

Thanks, man. I dunno if I missed the last two times or just didn't process them, sorry.

Edit: What do you think an electoral college vote fetches? Like, money wise? Asking for Rudy Giuliiiii.... just someone I overheard asking a guy on the street about it.

No no no, I'm motivated to put the drama to bed. Shit, I'm motivated by being able to better put myself to bed, but I can understand if the result is indistinguishable.
