Excellent question...I don't know...BMX Bandit said:
on the starting a civil war, does that happen only if SCOTUS doesn't take the case or decides Texas doesn't have standing?
or does it still start a civil war if SCOTUS decides Texas has standing, but rules PA, GA, etc. win the case?
At some point, it has to come down to this:
Is there clear evidence of election fraud in this election or not?
If there is, then I argue that ANY fraud proven, no matter how benign it may seem, raises doubt about the election as a whole, and if there is any "proven" fraud, then the whole process in each state where some form of fraud is "prove" needs to be thrown out because it is tainted...
Having arguments about "okay, so there was fraud, but there wasn't enough to change the outcome" is the wrong way to look at this...
Any fraud "proven" means the whole thing is tainted, and the results simply cannot be trusted...
If the court finds enough evidence that some fraud occurred, then they need to step in and tell the state legislatures to take action and appoint their electors...
Now, the final outcome might still be the same...so be it...
But it at least takes the fraud angle out of it and allows the law to be used to resolve the issue constitutionally...
If you don't, and you just leave this dangling in the wind, you are asking for trouble...
