209. If Kerry proves he won the popular vote
The State of Ohio MUST change its slate of electors to reflect the result of the popular vote. It's in the State Constitution that's how the slate will be elected. The State of Ohio CANNOT change the way it chooses its electors AFTER election day. Before, yes. After, no. It would be a violation of the United States Constitution. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

There is no Constitutional authority for sending a Republican slate if the method by which the legislature chose to elect its slate hinged on the outcome of the popular vote and that popular vote margin went Democratic.

Yes, I know what the Florida legislature threatened in 2000. It was unconstitutional.

Read Boies new book, the chapter on Bush v. Gore. This is a black and white issue, not open to question.
