    The big part here is they won’t work as electors in any future election where Donald Trump is a candidate on the ballot. Obviously any result they got in the train wouldn’t overturn the election but the ruling can help prevent it from happening again.

      I can’t understand why they wouldn’t be disallowed from working as electors in any future election full stop. Limiting it like that seems like almost no consequence.

      How is that a deterent? So other MAGA zealots look at that and say “oh, so I can deny democracy in a position of power, and have zero consequences. Hold my beer”
