FL state Sen @JoeGruters & GOP chair to me: “It’s idiotic.”

I asked him if he would have pro-Trump electors declare him the winner even if Biden carried Florida & he said “no.” Asked again, he said “No. We would not do that” https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/status/1308755749435211779
Incoming Florida House Speaker @ChrisSprowls was sent the tweet in question about electors & told my colleague @Mdixon55: “no. Because it is totally crazy. We are fresh out of tin hats.”
A spokeswoman for incoming Florida Senate President @WiltonSimpson similarly denied this claim, referencing statute 103.011 says electors are bound by the actual election results 👇 https://bit.ly/304Dw6R 
To repeat Florida Statute 103.011: “Votes cast for the actual candidates for President and Vice President shall be counted as votes cast for the presidential electors supporting such candidates.”
