Forget Florida—Flip the Electors! by Matthew Miller, a senior fellow at the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. He’s basically saying that tit-for-tat litigation airs dirty laundry about the U.S. electoral system that would be better off not known. He prefers Gore take the (constitutional) high ground for the country’s sake. “Would a handful of Republican electors switch and vote for

Gore? I don’t know, but as a Gore supporter I’d rather risk

his losing this way than see the nation implode on its current

path. Even 271 party hacks could not help but feel the weight

of history in ways that would lead most to go beyond partisan

interest to consult their consciences.” Of course, there isn’t a ghost of a chance of this happening (unless Gore promises a handful of these hacks ambassadorships or something); I’m answering my own question I asked on election night. And it’s not self-evident at all that this is a “crisis”, or that the nation will “implode” at all if it continues down its current path. Slate
