Is anyone here at FR an attorney who understands election law? Anyone? There’s too much speculation and contradiction going on here, I wish we had a true legal expert who could weigh in

The plain text of the Constitution and the precedent of the 1864 election are quite clear. One does not need to be a lawyer to understand it. The authors of the Constitution were not lawyers, just citizen patriots, like us. They didn't write an intentionally obscure document that would require advanced training to decipher.

Quite the opposite, they wrote in simple English and made things quite clear.

Only the "Living Breathing" side believes that you need temple priests to interpret it.

Well, if everything was so crystal clear, why is there so much shouting going on here regarding the attempted recounts?

I would feel much better if Trump’s election law attorney(s) came out and made official statements about what can/can’t happen in each state—Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. It’s not just a matter of the U.S. Constitution, it’s also a matter of state election laws in each of the three states.
