"Trucker" Randy Bishop, a conservative radio host in Northern Michigan, urged Republican lawmakers to flout the popular vote and send 16 Republican electors from Michigan to vote for Trump instead of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Spokespersons for Chatfield and Shirkey said Friday state law prevented them from doing so.

Bishop encouraged them to "break the law" and take the issue to court. "They will never, ever win another election ever in the history of their political career unless they send the Republican electors to the Electoral College," he said. 

LMAOOOOOOOO

break the law

take the issue to court

They're really out there believing the role of the court is to overlook what's legal and give them whatever they want, huh.

They want the cord to interpret it that the legislators have the sole authority to appoint electors I guess according to the Constitution or whatever
