Not if they hold an election. Once you hold an election, you are bound to it. You can’t have an election and then have the legislature choose electors based on a coin flip.
Exactly!
The Constitution, from its very beginning, guaranteed that each State appoint their own electors. During the first Presidential election, different states adopted different methods to appoint their electors. Today, every state uses a popular vote of the people to appoint their State’s electors.

Today’s Fifth Column media ___ MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, ETC., and their countless Yellow Journalists who are socialist domestic revolutionaries ___ make Russia’s old Pravda, [an organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union] look like propaganda amateurs.
That’s what I said.
The only people suggesting the legislatures could do otherwise are Trump-supporting commentators, by the way.
The Supreme Court addressed this question in CHIAFALO ET AL. v. WASHINGTON

Our socialist domestic revolutionaries, which now control the Democrat Party Leadership, are known for accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of.
Well then maybe you want to tell Trump-supporting commentators to stop suggesting that Pennsylvania, for example, can choose their own slate of electors.
Not sure why you’re lecturing people here who have suggested nothing of the kind.
Stop projecting opinions, and address what I actually post.

I already did. You’re lecturing me on something that was specifically in the post you responded to.
Try reading my posts next time before launching into your walls of text.
You confuse my posting facts with “lecturing”.

They are not “progressive” or “democrat” leaders. They are radical socialist revolutionaries, supported and defended by a Fifth Column Media and Yellow Journalists.
The bottom line questions are:
Does our federal Constitution guarantee that the right to vote in federal elections, shall not be infringed upon? And if the answer is yes, is it not our Supreme Courts’ job to adjudicate allegations when the right to vote has been infringed upon, e.g., a state purposely adopting voting regulations and procedures which allow and invite an infringement upon the right to vote by illegal cast ballots canceling out legally cast ballots?

We need to call these scoundrels what they really are! They are not “democrats”, “progressives”, or “democrat” leaders. They are radical socialist revolutionaries, supported and defended by a Fifth Column Media and Yellow Journalists.

The Constitution does not guarantee the right to vote for President. That is solely up to the States. If the State decides to apportion electors by popular vote, the individual state decides how ballots are cast and what the voting rules are. Provided that 1) the vote is allowed to anyone over 18 (26th Amendment); 2) the vote is not denied on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude (15th Amendment) or sex (19th Amendment); and there is no poll tax (24th Amendment), and there are no equal protection violations (Reynolds v. Sims (1964) (striking down state law giving rural voters more voting power than urban voters); Harper v Virginia Board of Elections (1966)(applying 24th Amendment to state election); etc., then the states can run the elections anyway they want. Plain and simple.
And the constitution allows for the regulation of the state elections by the federal government.
If you think Biden is anyway shape for form a radical socialist revolutionaries he is a donor puppet and donors = more capitalism in USA so rich can make more money off crony capitalism then you are type voter Liberty323 is talking about in this thread.
The ‘radical, socialist revolutionary’ nonsense, though it works in arousing folks, comes no where near explaining the many, many many uber-wealthy Democrats in my community. Big time capitalists.
We go ‘racist, homophobic, xenophobes’, they go ‘radical socialist revolutionaries’. Same ignorance, different name-calling.
Trump has the rule of law and the Construction on his side, Biden has a bunch of liars!

If you look into this a little more deeply, you’ll find that the Federal government has very limited authority to direct the elections for President. It is far more extensive as to Congress.
When I said the Federal government, I meant Congress.
Thank you for your opinion.
The fact is, our federal constitution, in explicit wording and in several instances, forbids the right to vote to be abridged. Are you suggesting this guarantee is not federally enforceable?

The only places where those guarantees appear are the 15th, 19th, 24th and 25th amendments, which is what
I said.
