    They’d have to amend the Constitution to take elections away from the states and that’s too high a bar. 2/3rds of the House, 2/3rds of the Senate, and 38 states.

        Well, think of it like this, in order to pass the final hurdle, they would need all 31 of the states that voted for Trump in 2024 + 7 of the 19 states that voted for Harris.
