Title:
"10 Reasons Pennsylvania’s Election Results May Be ‘Irredeemably Compromised’"
OK.
Let's say the results ARE found to be "irredeemably compromised".
(and I believe that they are, just so you know where I stand on the issue)
What can be done about it NOW...?
Are they going to hold another election?
How is THAT going to work?
The Electoral College meets on December 14.
Pennsylvania could hold one, two, three more "elections" if they want, but...
... if they don't present a slate of electors before the EC on December 14, their representation in that body will be... ignored.
So by December 8th or so (the date I believe on which electors must be certified), the state has two choices that I see:
- go with the electors as assigned by the vote they've conducted
or
- the state legislature can decide that the election results were indeed "compromised" -- and then, setting aside the election results, the legislature can appoint ITS OWN slate of electors.
The legislature COULD take option #2 (as prescribed by the Constitution)... but...
... They won't.
So... where does that leave us?
