But he did win; the Electoral College.

Ummm, the electoral college vote is correlated by law with the popular vote PER STATE . Obviously I'm not talking about that stupid liberal idea... I'm staying with the founders on this one... You're smart enough to know that's not the issue we're talking about so why bring it up?

If voter fraud is sufficient to change the outcome of the electoral college decision - THAT'S THE ISSUE ON THE TABLE.

If it is Biden must step down...

State laws vary by state. The only Supreme Court cases on the issue are Chiafalo v. Washington and Colorado Department of State v. Baca. The Washington case affirmed that faithless electors can be fined by the state for choosing to vote for someone else. The Colorado case affirmed the power of the state to preemptively replace a faithless elector.

In the 2020 election, no electors were replaced. There is no legal provision for states to come back - months after the fact - and decertify electors. And Georgia doesn’t even require electors to vote with the election results anyway. (https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2019/title-21/chapter-2/article-12/section-21-2-499/). Arizona’s state law only covers faithless electors who “knowingly refuses” to cast a ballot in accordance with the results certified by the secretary of state. (https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/16/00212.htm) So even if an Arizona elector believed there was fraud, if they had decided to cast their ballot for President Trump, they would have been immediately removed and replaced per the state law.

There is no legal pathway to reverse the results of the 2020 election. Focus on exposing the fraud that happened. Focus on making sure it never happens again. That is achievable.
