There is no dispute that the FL legislature has the authority to determine the state's APPOINTED electors. However, I would expect that we would see a request for an injunction to stop that. If the Congress does not see 538 votes on Jan 6, they may work with what they have, they may appoint a commission as in 1876, they may do the state voting to pick the President, or they may let the litigation play out and let Hastert serve as Acting Pres. With all of these approaches, I would think there is the possibility of additional litigation to either force these legislative bodies to do a particular action and/or stop them from doing a particular action. In all honesty, I don't see how the Supreme Court can avoid ruling on the procedures to follow. There are too many paths and too many political agendae. TG
