In the last two weeks, President Trump’s campaign lawyers have been meeting with State Legislators, and presenting to them the many evidences they’ve found of crimes in the recent election; things like people voting in more than one state, and the unexplainable “dumping” of massive amounts of votes into the system, most of which greatly favored Joe Biden.  The President’s team is urging conservative Legislators in these states to take back the appointing of electors into their hands—as a Legislature—to insure that the voice of the true majority of the people is heard in the Electoral College.

But do the Legislators have the right to do this?  Let’s read the words of the United States Constitution:  It reads as follows in Article 2, Section 1 concerning the election of President:

“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…”

(U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 2)

America’s Founders created the Electoral College for the purpose of maintaining the equality of each State in the Union.  Since the President is the President of all the states represented in the national government, each state must have equal power to elect him.  Thus, they wrote in the Constitution that the states would have as many electoral votes as the total number of their Senators and Representatives in Congress.  Thus, the ground of opportunity for votes in the Electoral College was level.  And in a scandalous election, like this one certainly appears to be, the Legislature has every right to step in and take the power for appointing Electors away from the political parties in order to insure that the people—whom they represent—are represented fairly in the electing of their President.

The great wisdom of America’s Founders is seen in their creation of the Electoral College; and in leaving the power to operate it in the hands of the State Legislatures.  They helped to insure that government by the many, instead of the few, is maintained:  And that is a Biblical principle!

That God, who created civil government (Genesis 9:5; Romans 13:1-4), wants government authority to flow upward—from the people to their rulers, not vice versa—is seen in the way God established the Jewish civil government under Moses.  He told the Jews how to create their government in Deuteronomy 1:13.  He said,

“Take [(meaning “Elect”)] you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.”

God has always intended for the people of a nation to select their own rulers.  Those who operate outside God’s laws have always tried to nullify the people’s voice and replace it with the voice of a very few, whom these lawless ones consider to be “intelligent enough” to be rulers.  That always translates out to mean “a few rule the many”.  In other words, “top-down” rule instead of “bottom-up” rule.  It’s the “elitist” idea of:  “I’m better than you, so you should be my servant.”  America was founded on a totally different principle of:  “All men are created equal…”

By insuring that every person who voted legally is represented in choosing the President, we, as Abraham Lincoln said it:

“…assure freedom to the free…”

I choose to trust God’s idea over the ideas of these socialists.  What about you?

Think about it; because if you don’t, someone else will do your thinking for you—and for your children!  And you won’t like what that brings to you.  I’m Don Pinson; this has been Think About It.
