Clinton: 'Nobody's Talking About Contesting The Election, Including Me'

23. They can't

The SC has no legal or constitutional basis for "declaring the 2016 election illegitimate". They don't have that authority. 1st of all, elections are run by states. Elections elect Electors and each state establishes who those electors are. The SC, even in Gore, did not dispute the states right to determine their own electors. They only stated how the votes could be counted. Only the congress, at the time of accepting the report of the EC, can "undo" an election. They basically do that by deciding to elect SOMEONE ELSE president. But once that is done, it is done and even they don't have the power to undo it. And the SC can't "award" the presidency to anyone., Succession is clearly outlined in the constitution (and amendments) and the SC has absolutely no role at all. And if they tried, the Senate would potentially impeach the lot of them.
