"Texas v. Pennsylvania Would Have Upended the Electoral College"

Over at Law and Liberty, I have this post, “Texas v. Pennsylvania Would Have Upended the Electoral College.” It begins:

The Electoral College is a designedly decentralized process for the selection of the President of the United States. Each State may choose its presidential electors in the manner that the legislature deems appropriate.

The State of Texas, in Texas v. Pennsylvania, sought to upend this system in advance of one end: get the Supreme Court to do something, anything, to prevent President-Elect Joe Biden from taking office.
