McLame was ineligible from day one and the GOP knew it. The RATS knew it. Everyone knew it - just as they knew Hussein is/was/and always will be ineligible. That’s just one more point of proof showing to what lengths the GOP went to to throw the election in order to distance themselves from the economic disaster that was looming.

There is another course. Presidents and VPs are elected on the same ticket. If one party is determined ineligible, then that voids the entire ticket. If the elector submits in ineligible vote, then he wasted it. They, imo, have no other option than to go back to the general election to see what “eligible” ticket recieved the most votes. The ticket recieving the most votes after McCain/Palin was Nader/Gonzales but iirc, Gonzales doesn’t meet the NBC (two US citizen parents) requirement. Next down the list was Barr/Root.

Smells like Barr should have standing in an eligibility case.

You can’t get elected president without receiving a majority of the votes of the Electoral College. Read the Twelfth Amendment, particularly the three words “...shall be President.”
Vice President Cheney counted and certified the votes of the Electoral College without objection from even one of the 535 members of Congress, therefore those three words kick in.

Except he failed to ask for objections. That was the final rule that wasn't followed. The fix was in.
