POTUS has no power either to postpone the Nov.3 election or — and this is crucial — whether a state’s voters “failed to make a choice” in that election, thus triggering the state legislature’s power to designate an electoral slate under 3 U.S.C. § 2. — PolitiTweet.org

3 U.S.C. § 2 permits each state legislature to pick an electoral slate if that state’s voters fail to pick a winner in the Nov.3 election set by 3 U.S.C. § 1, but the state’s own laws “enacted prior to” Nov.3 determine under 3 U.S.C. § 5 whether a winner was chosen and who won — PolitiTweet.org

Under the 20th Amendment, the president’s term ends Jan. 20 at noon. If a president & vice president haven’t been chosen by then, the Speaker of the House becomes president. Treating the Nov.3 election as meaningless would make @SpeakerPelosi president. https://t.co/8hHxJa8XFW — PolitiTweet.org
