    A coup would be a violent and unlawful seizure of power. My reading of slate electors is that they wanted to change the state election processes which is within their rights as state government. The constitution does not mandate how state’s conduct things.

      Holy shit, that’s what you are. You’re one of the Alex Jones idiots. Now it makes sense.

      Yeah, good luck with any of your nonsense holding up in court. You’re worse than the sovereign citizen people. At least they mostly keep to themselves with all their made up nonsense.

      Not like you. You’re here just showing your ass public.

      A coup doesn’t have to be violent. It can utilize existing rules if it breaks their spirit or the ability to change them.

      A coup is a forceful seizure of governmental power that subverts the existing system of power. That includes shit like this.

      A coup can be military but also from other bodies.

      In this case it would be a self-coup since a lawfully elected power would be attempting to maintain power by illegal means.
