How SCOTUS could rig the 2024 election

In this hypothetical 2024 election: Biden wins the popular vote and under normal circumstances would also win the Electoral College vote. However, several states with Republican-controlled legislatures decide to ignore their population's vote in favor of Biden and instead simply hand their electoral votes to DeSantis. Any voters who protest in the streets will be charged with sedition, because the election winner "is" whoever the state legislature says it is, regardless of the actual vote. DeSantis is sworn in and says there will never be elections again.

He quotes the conservative Judge J. Michael Luttig: "Trump and the Republicans can only be stopped from stealing the 2024 election at this point if the Supreme Court rejects the independent state legislature doctrine and Congress amends the Electoral Count Act to constrain Congress' own power to reject state electoral votes and decide the presidency."

As of mid-2024: Meanwhile the likely election map.
