Another Way To Elect A President: Can A State Legislature Overrule The Voters? (Part 4)
In this episode in our presidential election mini-series, we take a deep dive into 3 USC 2, a federal law that some way permits state legislatures to declare an election null and void and appoint presidential electors directly. We explain the true purpose of this law—spoiler alert: it wasn't to let states nullify elections—and discuss what arguments there might be if things go haywire next week.
