I have seen discussions of this and appreciate your comments. While I am not versed on this at all, it appears you have good knowledge which appears to be a relatively simple solution. I suspect that there are a number of knowledgeable people who are well versed in what you are suggesting. The question that jumps out at me is why the hell has this not been done? There is no way Lindell is taking this approach. He is trying to get this disseminated to the people instead of using his influence to go through this procedure. He noted that he has been aware of this on Jan 6 (and perhaps earlier). Doesn’t give me any confidence that Lindell will make anything happen. (I would so love to be wrong about this.)

A petition for a writ of quo warranto is an obscure, seldom used legal writ to remove a pretender from office. It hasn't been done before because Trump and patriots haven't had all of the evidence of fraud. There is only one shot at the writ, so its best to present an overwhelming case. An old judge advised me long ago, that a good plaintiff/petitioner needs to shoot all of the arrows in his quiver, because he never knows which one will hit the mark with the judges. So, the lawyers are drafting a case based upon the NSA data, the statistical evidence from Dr. Frank, any evidence from the court in Naples, and the audits, data about fraudulent votes, etc.

Nota bene, Guiliani and his team never litigated the issue of outright fraud. This was done because they didn't have all of the evidence, and didn't want to make that claim without it, lest the claim be precluded by res adjudicata. For that reason, prior litigation claimed unlawfully run elections contrary to statute, not fraud. Now the other shoe drops, because those statutes were enacted to prevent the kind of fraud that occurred. The laches defense was always absurd, because a writ of quo warranto was still possible. If SCOTUS refuses to grant the writ, the Republic is truly dead, and we fall back to the unspoken option of last resort.

Thanks for your reply. I recognize that time has not been on our side and perhaps it was not possible to get this done on time. We are now in a far worse position.

1. The power of the presidency and no branch Congress in R hands has been lost. So there the forces in power including executive appointments are aligned against us and ready to be weaponized.
2. Social media suppression and the bias press have been emboldened.
3. SCOTUS refused to act when confronted with violations of the Constitution through usurping the powers of the state legislature. What makes you think they will act now?
4. Trump's approach of communicating to the public about election fraud and the ineffective actions of Giuliani and his team and the lunacy of the Lin Wood and Sidney Powell faction and the infighting with the Giuliani team allowed the press to portray this in the same manner as the birther issue and enabled mass suppression. Finally, Jan 6 was as effectively used as the Reichstag in 1933 Germany. All of this is now synonymous with election fraud in many people's minds.

Your last sentence is so true and bears repeating and I will end with it. (I think that the If is a more likely occurrence than not.)
