I didn't have time to dive in to that info, had to go do some chores.

So that's the issue with much of the original documentation, its subject to interpretation which in this case could be dangerous.

What I got from what I did read is that the EC has a process and it was described there. As for the SCOTUS, I didn't get anything specific other than they are required to protect the Constitution and our (we citizens) best interests. IMHO this current set of issues warrant intervention from the one branch that is not directly involved in the election since they are all appointed. But they screwed us last time in 2000 so there's that.

I am tempted to turn prepper and go find a cave.
