Trump lost because of the GOP state legislatures uniting to *not* question their executive branches' 'certification' of clearly fraudulent results.
But the fraud doesn't matter (this is the beauty of the Founding Fathers' design) because the *LEGISLATURES* can remedy any fraud. If the Texas legislature wished, it would be perfectly constitutional for them to IGNORE the popular vote, and choose the electors they wished (up to the vagaries of STATE law, which would of course be decided in most cases by the state supreme court, as in Florida 2000 with Younger Bush v Gore).
A State Legislature can ALWAYS say 'fuck you democracy, Texas is a *REPUBLIC* as required by the Constitution' and send a slate of WHOMEVER THEY PLEASE. (Now, look at the Provisional Union Government of Virgia to see how all this played out before)
Under the US constitution (as amended by Yankee force of arms and assorted arseholery over the years, during the long and illegitimate Occupation Government, but that's another story...) ... the state legislatures, as popular assemblies of each allegedly sovereign state and their allegedly sovereign people who are elected, supposedly, for just this purpose... has the exclusive right to CHOOSE the electors. They can take the popular voat as advice, if they wish, like the non-binding referendum it is.
Now, many such state legislatures have quite properly made LAWS and created processes to make the choice of electors kinda democratic -- so you could argue a sort of state-level procedural thing, which would end up decided by the state supremes as in Florida 2000 (Bush v Gore).
The question as posed is ambigious and so I won't answer it. The possible meanings are:
- Did Trump unfairly lose the Electoral College, so that the turnover to Biden was illegitimate for *THAT* reason ... Definititvely no. The GOP dominated state legislatures in the doubtful cases uniformed used due process to certify the electors they sent, and while there were some faithless electors, some of whom can be beheaded by their sovereign states for all I care, the point is moot, because the outcome was definitive.
In other words, to the extent you care about the the Scalawag who heads up the Stinkin' Lincoln government, aided and abetted by Scalawags and Carpetbaggers at the state level (and you probably should not give any fucks)... The Union followed the correct procedure.
- Was Trump's manifest popular victory stolen by him from several GOP state legislatures, committing what, if the Frigging Union HAD law and order, would clearly be treasonous betray of their own people? Yes, but ask me if I care. We need to win our states back, one at a time. Then we can build ditches on the Potomac.
1/6 invaded the wrong Capitol building (not that it was all that bad an idea to stick it to the Yanks at *any* time, but that's another story).
Oh, and did you see the Ukrainian pro Biden operatives in Black Ninja suits fighting for Burisma's rights? Probably not, but it's out there.
