Its sad to see so many conservatives fall into the liberal mindset that all disputes can be resolved in a federal court.

No federal court will boot a presidential candidate off fifty ballots. Ever. That is a good thing.

Article II Section 1 of the Constitution grants the States plenary power to appoint Presidential electors. It is there, as our Framers designed, among the State legislatures, that determination of presidential qualifications must be made.

And when state secretaries of state refuse to follow state law? When state courts refuse to follow state laws? When there is blatant nonfeasance and judicial misconduct? What then?

Sorry, your conclusion wrong and this is what happens when people do not understand the whole constitution.... Read On and take notice of the words "PRESIDENT ELECT". So obviously Artical 20 section 3 of the constitution is directing us what to do AFTER the presidential electors appointed by the states are finished.

Article 20 section 3 .... 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 shal are finil 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.
