We need a revote: There's no harm and everything to gain

Far, far, far more than the evidence of Russian collusion which spawned a $40-million, two-and-a-half-year investigation, there is evidence that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election. Close to half the country believes that it is likely that it did.

We could verify the election results, one way or the other — and not over two and a half years, but over a single day — by having, in the states in which such evidence was found, a revote that would not have the vulnerabilities to voter fraud that the November 3 election did. Specifically, in such revotes, we would use computers that could not be rigged and, as postal voting is "vastly" more vulnerable to fraud than direct, in-person voting (see "Confessions of a voter fraud"; see also a 2012 N.Y. Times report, "Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises"), we would restrict the reliance on postal voting only to those residing at an excessive distance from the polls or for those who are actually unable to appear. There should also be photo IDs required; for those who might not have them, fingerprints or photos of them might be taken, after which they would be permitted to vote.

While there would still be some vulnerability to fraud, this is as secure an election as we can provide — which is what, under Article 4, Section 4, our Constitution requires. More specifically, it provides that the "United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." "Republican" here was used not in reference to any political party, but rather to a form of government ruled with the consent of the people — not by kings.

There is no judicial precedent for it, there is no statutory provision for it. the federal constitutional provisions are clear and well known, but only apply when no candidate has 270 EV.

The only “re-run” of an election I am aware of was a congressional race in North Carolina in 2018 in which the incumbent 1 term Republican had hired a consultant who manipulated absentee ballots illegally, to a degree such that the NC state election commission ordered a special election.

One side would agree to a revote in those states but, unfortunately, the other side would not. That side knows full well that fraud was rampant and that they would lose in an honest revote. The honest side would agree to it but the dishonest side would not. Maybe they will change their minds when CW2 is well underway? Maybe they don’t realize that it is either a revote or a revolt? Maybe!
