Agree. This shred of thoroughly constitutional federalism wouldn’t be an issue at all if the states hadn’t booted themselves from the senate 101 years ago.

Also, the House and Senate already have the power to refuse to seat an election winner if they think the election was tainted. It's been done before.

And, the Congress has the power to reject a presidential winner if they think that election was tainted. That power has never been exercised, I think.
