The jurisdiction of the court over the election process for this would be questionable in my mind.

Then we disagree, on two grounds. I believe that deciding constitutionality is the strict provence of the Court. I also believe the court is jealous of that power and is unlikely to want to share it with the House.

Besides, the temptation to meddle in the process would just be tooooooo tempting to certain activists on the SC...

To: null and void
Perhaps this is the events that would occur:

Amendment 20 would kick in:

3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect (Hillary?)shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

The succession act provides in part"

(1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President. We might have the first woman president and instead of NY, she is from California.
