STILL.... there is more to Sedition than JUST force:

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy | U.S. Code |
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, § 1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)
THE INTRICACIES of LAW is that by so many signing on to a petition to overthrow the election, they are in essence conspiring to overthrow the lawfully elected government.
OR BY FORCE indicates that there are different ways to OVERTHROW the government.
