GOP State Senator Tweets Boycotting Electoral College Is ‘Last Chance’ At Romney Presidential Win

The Idaho Statesmen reported Tuesday that Sheryl Nuxoll, a Republican state senator from Idaho, is fervently holding on to the idea of a presidential win for former Governor Mitt Romney. Nuxoll tweeted a link to an article by Tea Partier Judson Phillips along with the note, “A ‘last chance’ to have Mitt Romney as President in January (it’s still not too late).”

The article by Phillips claims that President Barack Obama‘s re-election could be nullified if two-thirds of the states participating in the Electoral College boycott the result. Phillips claims in the piece that if 17 states refused to accept the result – which Phillips thinks is possible because 24 states voted for Romney – there would be no quorum for the electoral college and the decision of electing the president would be given to the House of Representatives, which is currently controlled by Republicans. The problem is, this isn’t true.
