“The time for things to have been done to protect against fraud was before the elections took place.”
Well, okay, if you accept that the Constitution honors and legitimizes a stolen presidential election, which means it has been a joke the whole time.
The Constitution honors the states’ right to run elections the way they see fit. The states ran their elections and certified their slates of electors and sent them to Congress.
It isn’t what I accept or don’t accept. Honestly, if the Giuliani clown-car didn’t make everything such a laughing stock and actual serious lawyers had had a chance to present the case, there may have been some remedy before states certified their electors.
