All of your points are speculation. Courts do not deal in speculation. There is no constitutional authority for redoing an election. There is a process for dealing with a situation where a candidate becomes ineligible, The EC simply casts its vote for another candidate. Presidents are elected to office by the Electoral college, not by the people of the United States. We need no more proof of this than George W. Bush, who was elected by the Electoral College even though he received less votes than the other candidate.

That's right! We can dictate to the Ukraine to re-do their election, and we did, their Consitution be damned, but we're just too perfect to re-do an obviously crooked election like the previous gubernatorial election in the state of Washington, for one example. Disgusting.

Presidents are elected to office by the Electoral college, not by the people of the United States.

Then, why bother with an election to begin with?

Why not just have each state nominate members to an "electoral college" and send them off to Washington to "select" the president of their choice?

The election is conducted so that "the people" decide who gets a particular set of electoral college votes. Those votes are supposed to represent the will of the people.

If the whole election season turns out to be a sham because one candidate was deemed a farce and ineligible, then the electoral college votes should also be deemed as invalid.
