The case states that the election was held with an ineligible candidates for president. Biden was on the same ticket.

Sigh.

First of all, there is no such thing as a "ticket" in the Constitution.

Second of all, there is no such thing as "running for President", or "candidates for President".

Right now, there are 538 Electors for President and Vice-President of the United States. Each one, as far as I know, is eligible to their office and has been chosen in a regular, legal way.

On December 15, these 538 US citizens, holding their Constitutional office, will elect the President and Vice President.

Despite what you seem to believe, the Constitution contemplates a situation where an ineligible (the Constitution says "unqualified") person is chosen by the Electoral College to the office of President. In such a case, the Vice-President elect assumes the office of Acting President until the Electoral College chooses a qualified person.

Have faith in your Constitution, and try to learn what it says. You're going to need it.

Thanks for the semantics lesson but what happens with those electors if the entire presidential election was faulty?

Do they simply vote regardless if there was not a single “qualified” presidential candidate on the ballot? As Donofrio asserts in his Appeal. And can the USSC retrospectively call the election by the voting public null and void due to fraud?

Does it even matter that the Donofrio case was designed to “stay’ the election and was obstructed by judicial misconduct and obstruction by the USSC clerk until the election had passed?

Does that mean that anytime someone wants to have their way in the courts, they just wait out their opponent until the “judgment day” has passed? That hardly seems fair...

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Excellent.

The Rule of Law may at times be frustrating, but it is preferable to all known alternatives; and what you say is the law as set forth in our Constitution.
