theoretically, the electors could change their vote. But a lot of vetting and effort goes into making sure the delegates on a slate are 100% behind the candidate. I have been a delegate. I know.

I wasn’t talking about electors changing their votes. I was talking about a scenario where no candidate gets a majority of votes or the congress feels that there has been mischief making that cannot be worked thru. The Congress chooses the president by a per state vote which will favor Trump. It happened in 1876 and there were issues in the earliest elections. The Senate chooses the VP

I can’t find out if the VP is also chosen by a per state vote or if the Senate chooses from a simple majority. The President though gets chosen by the number of state delegations. Can a different person be chosen in stead? Theoretically it’s possible.

I think the fraud happened and has so tainted the presidential races that a Congressional house vote by means of one vote per state will be the only way to solve it. The VP gets chosen by the Senate.
