It just never occurred to any of them that things wouldn't work out exactly as planned - and as a result, the whole world would be privy to their texts, phone calls, conversations, etc.

what this SCOTUS would do. Roberts wouldn't go along but who knows what the other 5 would do, who just upheld the absurd Texas anti-choice bounty law.

IIRC, all of the cases SCOTUS ruled on during the 2020 election were related to state election law and process issues, not deeper Constitutional questions such as having legislatures select alternate slates of electors, having the VP reject electors, having it thrown into the House, etc.

Nowhere in the Constitution is there a right for voters to select the electors. The right is that of the state legislatures which have in all states decided to 'allow' the voters to do so. IOW, it has become a custom enshrined in state laws, but a rogue RW SCOTUS could decide to revert to an 'originalist' reading of the Constitution.
