We all know the general election rules under the Constitution and we'll never fully know the extent to which the Russians, Comey letter, Wikileaks and Jill Stein contributed to the loss. Thus, we have no legal basis to overturn the 2016 election. All we can do going forward is abolish the electoral for general election and caucuses (which the Sanders campaign ABSOLUTELY LOVED in 2016) for the nominating process.
