One wonders if these twits have actually thought this through? If all it takes is an allegation of outside interference to nullify an election, how will we ever elect anyone?

If they get away with this we will have a dictatorship so elections will be carefully controlled.

Excellent point! And your point holds even if the allegations are proven true. So let's say the Russians really did interfere to help Trump. And it can be also argued that the foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation helped Hillary.

Then what? I guess Gary "What Is Aleppo?" Johnson ends up as president.

Before this is over, every country, foreign money baggers like $orea$$ and the Opecker Princes, who gave the Clintoons money will be telling our liberals to shut up!

Germany Tried To Influence The Election In Favor Of Hillary

Common Sense Evaluation ^

Germany funded the Clinton Campaign and therefore acted as an external influence during the Election.

Angela Merkel has been caught funneling up to $5 million of German taxpayers money to the Clinton Foundation in an underhanded effort to try to influence the U.S. Election.

Not an issue, if they can nullify this one, then there won’t be anymore that ever amounts to anything. It will all be over. The elections will be as in banana republic, with the dear leader getting 100% voter approval.

You won't. That's the whole point.

By agreeing to hear Bush v. Gore, a non-justiceable political question if ever there was one, the Supreme Court has unleashed an avalanche of post-election lawfare which will not end until the Article III courts are forbidden to hear election cases by legislation.

And, to save time:

The Florida Bush electors were certified and ready to vote. The Governor and both houses of the Legislature were Republicans. The Florida Supreme Court had no jurisdiction and could have been ignored completely.

But, suppose they ordered local recounts that resulted in a Gore "majority", and ordered Katherine Harris to certify a Gore slate. Suppose further that she did so.

The Legislature appoints the electors. This is a plenary, unreviewable power. The Legislature was in session and prepared to name a new slate of Bush electors if the above had occurred.

So, at most, when President of the Senate Gore opened the votes on January 6, 2001, there would have been TWO sets of votes from Florida. Objections would have been raised to both, of course, and the Special Joint Session (with a strong Republican majority) would have accepted one slate or neither.

If they accepted the Florida Legislature's electors (almost a certainty), Bush would have been elected. If they acted like the cowards we know they are, and accepted neither,, then neither Bush nor Gore would have had 270, and the House would have immediately gone into session, with a 30-20 GOP state majority, and elected Bush later that day.

Courts have no business in elections, and we have to find a way to get them out.
