I started to put this in the Laughing Corner, but it is no joke; although very laughable. |

Very interesting and not a bad idea. I am disgusted at every part of our judicial system for ignoring the openly blatant voter fraud across this country.

Actually you have hit upon one of the very reasons the Electoral College was created; ie: the corruptibility of the poplar vote.
The Framers of the Constitution distrusted the general popular vote. However, allowing Congress to elect the President would conflict with the separation of powers of the three Branches. The Electoral College system was then laid out within the Constitution as a completely independent electoral body for the election of the President and V President. Those Electors must not be a Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States. …. Per Alexander Hamilton, the electors come directly from the people and them alone, for that purpose only, and for that time only.
It’s in the news this week that Republicans have filed suit in the Courts to set aside the Electoral College vote and VP Pence has filed a motion with the courts to have the suit dismissed. … I do not know the specifics of that suit, but one can guess.
If the Republican suit is based upon or contains these facts, then it would appear they have solid grounds to push the suit. ….
And this sets up the scenarios for my post above ......
Your US Constitution at work!

The question is whether or not the Supreme Court has the power to set aside a Constitutionally prescribed action; ie, the Electoral Vote.
