Wikipedia tells me that 29 states have laws against faithless electors.
But I realize, looking into the electoral college some more, that the electors are actually chosen by the party that wins the state, so it’s not really plausible for electors won by the democrats to side with Trump. I thought they were people in the college and were required to vote in accordance with the majority.
I’m still concerned about shenanigans, though it looks like those particular shenanigans would be unlikely. At least a state would have to change the law before the election to make it happen, so they’d be telegraphed.
I’m sure this is fine and normal and would in no way be used to perpetrate anything like a coup or a genocide or anything like that. Every liberal democracy has a paramilitary police force that sees itself as serving the Man In The Big Chair and protecting them from all threats real or imagined and has been granted unchecked operational authority over the vast majority of major population centers around the country.
The old president is involved in vacating the white house, which has plenty of fancy telephones for telling some theoretical military or paramilitary forces that the election was a sham and that he’s still the commander in chief who’s demanding that this false president be stopped.
to be fair, the president isn’t supposed to be involved with investigating political rivals, setting federal sentencing guidelines, soliciting election help from foreign government, emoluments, etc.
the only true restrains on power are those other people are willing to entertain.
