@TucsonSentinel The word "bargaining" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Maybe "coercion"?

@TucsonSentinel@tucsonsentinel.com Not a constitutional law expert, but pretty sure that if Arizona law today says that presidential electors are chosen by the people on Election Day, then that's what's going to happen unless the legislature passes a *law* that says otherwise, and the governor doesn't veto it.
