4. There is no constitutional way to turn over this election.

The electoral college decides who is president, not the popular vote.

To change that would take a constitutional amendment, which takes 3/4 of the state legislatures to approve. Needless to say, not bloody likely with a substantial majority of state legislatures in the hands of the ever increasingly delusional GOP.

And any claims that the election was somehow stolen? Well, I would remind DUers of the myriad of DU posts debunking Drumpf claims that the election would be rigged (when he undoubtedly thought he might lose). Rigged election claims are always by the ones who have lost the election and are rarely based on actual evidence. My advice is to not go there.
