Constitutional Resolution if Election Fraud Found [View all]

[NJCher]

If instances of electoral fraud were found, or suspected, in a presidential election, what would be the constitutional procedure for resolution?

Here are a few responses from a Quora page asking the above question:

Voting laws are set at the state and that is where they are prosecuted unless there is something that spans the US Constitution. So the courts would prosecute the individuals and this has happened many times. It wouldn’t affect elections except in rare cases where outcomes could be in question. Because it takes many months to bring a case to court. One election in Paterson NJ (where I was born) was actually overturned because there was a video of the candidates brother manipulating ballots from the election. So the judge ordered a “redo”. But mostly fraudsters are jailed.

Assuming a President of the United States actually did steal an election, what could be done about it? If a presidential election was fraudulent, is there a legal framework to correct it?
Not after the US Congress certifies the election. It has specific procedures to try to stop a fraudulent power grab, which many people including President Trump attempted after the election till 6-January- 2021, after that it is suck it up buttercup —for the 2020 election Biden/Harris are certified on 06/January 2021 from inauguration day 2021 till inauguration day 2025.

Now that does not mean you cannot continue to investigate, nor does it mean if you can prove individuals committed crimes associated with election rigging they cannot be prosecuted.

They can, and should.

It just means Biden/Harris are certified till Inauguration day 2025.

Unless you get enough evidence to impeach, convict & remove both of them. Then unless the Republicans retake the house in 2022, and you impeach & convict both after that, Nancy Pelosi becomes president. Sweet huh?

But if Republicans retake the house, and rapidly impeach convict & remove (remember you need 2/3 in the senate), then the Republican speaker of the house becomes president.
