A tweet by Dr. Refaat Alareer from 2029 calling Biden a "do nothing dem" and saying "fuck biden, fuck trump". A response says that he would be fucked regardless but would be less fucked under dems. Dr. Refaat and his entire family were killed in an Israeli bombing in 2023 when Biden was president and supplied Israel with limitless weapons.

Faithless electors are weird, because SCOTUS allows states to enforce laws that replace faithless electors, but some states choose to count the vote anyways. It's a whole mess and has its own NATOpedia article.

So, you'd have to get 270 faithless electors consisting only of states that do not void the votes... all for the FBI to assassinate the candidate who meets the constitutional requirements to be president that you've managed to get them all to agree to.

    Ah, yeah that's a whole 'nuther problem. Comes after the initial problem of actually getting those 270 in their seats and to vote in unison.

    all for the FBI to assassinate the candidate

    Damn, that's true. so many problems with that idea haha!
