This is about the 10th post on this. It's not going to happen. The obscure 1899 law would never stand up today plus, it won't get that far. After the recanvass and possible recount, it will be over. We have a Democratic SOS and Attorney General. We have a left of center state Supreme Court. Numerous legal minds have weighed in on this and pretty much poured cold water on it. CNN gives a step by step process that would have to happen to use this option and there has to be lofty legal grounds to get over. This race is over.
