Analysis: The real plot to steal the 2020 — and 2024 — election
that the election was “stolen” by virtue of changes at the state level that made it easier to vote. The favored line from those who uneasily straddle the boundary between Trumpland and the Republican establishment is that the whole thing was rigged because more people were able to vote. That the rules were tweaked to disadvantage Trump.
Luttig doesn’t dwell on it, but much of this is dependent on Trump’s other public effort both before and after the election: convincing his supporters that the legitimately determined election wasn’t legitimate. Empowering legislatures to determine a new slate of electors is one thing. Having them do so without the political cover of a lot of the state’s residents thinking that such a slate was warranted because of questions about the legitimacy of the vote is something else entirely.
This is important, given Luttig’s warning: that the goal is in part to set the stage for a similar effort in 2024.“Trump and the Republicans can only be stopped from stealing the 2024 election at this point if the Supreme Court rejects the independent state legislature doctrine ,” Luttig wrote, “and Congress amends the Electoral Count Act to constrain Congress’ own power to reject state electoral votes and decide the presidency.
