Wrong. The Florida Legislature has the ultimate say on the appointment of the electors. Get your law right (for once).

I second that LOF, and you can bet the US Supreme Court will back up the US Constitution which says so.

The Florida Legislature can do just about whatever they please in order to name the electors from that state, and there is nothing that you or any other bitch who wants to slap someone can do to stop that.

Do we HAVE to keep quoting the US Constitution to you Demolibs? Don't you EVER learn anything?

Article II

Section 1. The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows:

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole
number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or
Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.

The bold is my emphasis.

Even the USSC can't override THAT.
