| Nov 15, 2020 at 4:35 | comment | added | BobE | Can I suggest a clarification on the para beginning with "Any court ruling..." I think you mean to say that a court ruling may impact the numerical results of an election, subsequently those numerical results will determine the slate of electors for that state. Then: A Biden "win" of a court case may or may not impact the numerical result, and may have no impact on the slate of electors (Confusion between "win" the court case versus "win" the majority vote in that state) | |
| Nov 13, 2020 at 3:24 | comment | added | Acccumulation | "Any court ruling merely determines who gets to serve in the electoral college." I think that it should be emphasized that the courts rule only on issues on how elections are conducted. They have no authority to issue any rulings on who gets to serve in the electoral college (other than very limited issues, such as whether minors or noncitizens can serve), only to issue rulings that affect who serves. | |
