Remedy for Election Irregularities and Vote Fraud is Found in the Constitution

[Sic]"...Few may realize it, but the genius of the Constitution provides a way forward in Presidential elections should either the states’ failure to certify their vote or the Court’s ruling to call a new election or disqualify the certification of votes in contested states deny either candidate from achieving the necessary 270 Electoral College votes. In such unusual circumstances, Article II of the Constitution has a provision to put the election of the President in hands of the U.S. House of Representatives — the people’s house — with each state getting one vote, with that vote being decided by the weighting of Party representation in each state. As a result of the November 3 election, with 27 states now having more Republican than Democratic Congressmen, and 20 states having more Democratic than Republican Congressmen, and three states being evenly split, the Presidential election would be called for Trump.

Even if it delays inauguration day, we must see this process through to identify and eliminate election and vote fraud problems, or we may never again have free and safe elections. We simply cannot remain a free people with a government that is of the people, by the people and for the people if we fail to defend and uphold the Constitution and fail to restore integrity and trust to the electoral process.

As most know by now SCOTUS betrayed the matter of insuring election integrity by dismissing the case brought by Texas.
However, it may not yet be over.
Article II of the Constitution may give us the opportunity to insure a fair election after all. Because the Republican party controls the Senate as majority party.
If the legal number of votes are able to be presented for certification by the Senate Trump will win!

Article II USC:
(Sic)"... The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each state having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate shall choose from them by ballot the Vice President."

This is an excellent article, which again, points out the fact that the Constitution was not jut a document by some smart people. It was Divinely inspired. I would add, if the election was about the facts and what is Constitutional, the results would have been entirely different. The problem is corruption. So, what do we do? Jesus gave us the answer in Luke 18:1-8. He prefaced it by saying we need to pray and NOT give up! There was a widow woman who found herself in the court room of an unjust (corrupt) Judge, who neither feared man or God. He didn't judge based upon compassion or conscience, but convenience. I imagine, many strong men had caved before this judge even with the facts on their side. This widow woman who was demanding justice, found the judge would not give in. BUT, she would not give up. Eventually, she wore him out and he caved for not the noblest of reasons. It was the fact that she was a constant thorn in his side. This is our part. Persistent faith in spite of what looks hopeless. We don't need to figure this out. We need to faith it out!
