My remarks were reflecting the Electoral Count Act of 1887.Where should the facts about the fraud or the lack of it be established or overruled? surely in the courts and the electoral college? a partisan vote seems a poor basis for establishing what legal arguments before courts have hitherto failed to demonstrate.
My problem with the culture of Fundamentalism is that people sometimes seem to want to read their own ideas into Scripture because they strongly wish it.
Similarly, whatever one thinks of an election result, and wishes it otherwise, if legal arguments before the courts fail to overturn vital details of the result and these results are reflected in what the electoral college ratifies, I don't understand how wishful partisan intervention overturns the whole balance of the system under the separation of powers.
The same arguments apply, whichever candidate happened to be ahead. I don't even feel I should be trying to advance either candidate.
And to this. 3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting electoral votes in Congress
Do you know who the president of the Senate is?
