Thanks for posting Hostage.

Although desperate Democrats are predictably going to ignore this, to the best of my knowledge there is no statute of limitations for Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A), correction welcome. Section 2 is a penalty for states that weaken the voting poower of ordinary qualified citizen voters in any way.

Exerpted from the 14th Amendment...

So given allegations of vote-counting fraud, voting materials for 2022 elections should not be disposed of pending DOJ investigation imo.

Also, as a consequence of the states being bullied by organized crime front-ending itself with constitutionally undefined political parties, DOJ should also be investigating nearly all the states for non-compliance with 12th Amendment (12A) Electoral Vote procedures.

"12th Amendment: The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added];--The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;--The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two- thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. --The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

After all, the states surrendered their power to make state winner-take all laws for electoral votes when they ratified that amendment imo.

In fact, Justice Joseph Story had indicated that the overall effect of a state with divided electoral votes is that it weakens electoral votes for a single candidate.

"In case of any party divisions in a state, it may neutralize its whole vote, while all the other states give an unbroken electoral vote." —Justice Joseph Story, Article 2, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 3, Commentaries on the Constitution 3, 1833."

The bottom line is that it's now up to Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters to elect a new, Trump-endorsed Congress that will do its duty to enforce 12A and Section 2 of 14A.

Corrections, insights welcome.
