If the Federal courts were to recognize the legitimacy of a state to file a suit like this, then the courts would inevitable be required to establish a uniform national standard for presidential elections. This is a direct contradiction of Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. And I would also point out that any “uniform national standard” for elections would have the loosest controls in place right now — like ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots collected for weeks, minimal registration requirements, etc.
Wrong again, Canadian. Please please please stop pontificating about our constitution, you are always wrong! I cannot ever remember an instance when you were on target.
Try doing some research before you make your sweeping statements.
An illegitimate federal election in one state disenfranchises to some degree the other 49 states, sometimes greatly, sometimes minimally. The injured citizens of the other 49 states certainly have the right to redress.
In addition, it is a constitutionally mandated duty of the federal govt to guarantee fair elections in every state. Last time I checked, the Supreme Court is a part of the federal govt, and has a duty to address the states’ concerns.
Personally, I think the only way out of this is for the states to call a constitutional convention, relocate our capital city and dissolve the federal govt. Better this, than bloodshed which I fear may happen. Of course, the chance of that happening is nil.
