Election results don’t have to be certified. The constitution lets state legislatures select their electors how ever they want. There doesn’t even have to be a popular vote AT ALL. If the voting gets completely jacked, the state legislatures can call it off. Or they can use the results tabulated. Or they can toss a freaking if they want.
Right.But they need to be certified that counting is over and the election is over. No more ballots will be considered.
