In other words, Trump would lose both the popular vote and the Electoral College but he'd still win the presidency because one or two state legislators would just ignore the will of their voters and give their electors to the loser.
This could happen in so-called swing states where the GOP controls the state legislature but the state itself sometimes goes for the Democratic presidential candidate.
There's one certain way to make sure this doesn't happen. Trump must be defeated by a large margin. He must lose not just by one or two states but by ten or twelve or more.
In short, he needs to lose in something close to a landslide. He needs to lose by the margin that John McCain lost in the 2008 race, a margin large enough that the outcome could not be questioned.
This can happen — but only happen — if each and every one of us commits to vote for the Democratic nominee in the November election. Joe Biden may not be your favorite choice, but he's billions of times better than Trump.
