5. Key Phrase:
"If the right to vote in an election for president is “in any way abridged” then the representatives of that state will be reduced in proportion to the scale of the vote suppression. While this applies to representation in Congress, it also applies to the office of Elector, even though people only hold that office for a single day to do just one thing – vote for president. A Federal lawsuit backed by 550,000 affidavits from a state would be sufficient to reduce the number of electors from that state and as a consequence the number of electoral votes it has to cast on January 6th.Happily, the Internet makes it possible to put up a form necessary to produce a legal affidavit on Monday and have well over 550,000 of them from multiple states on the next day. Bold and messy, but plausible...."

Hello... Democrats... Let's wake up.

The Republicans would be putting a petition like this on-line in an INSTANT if the shoe were on the other foot. (And they wouldn't give a damn about being called "sore losers". They'd just do it.)

It's time to fight back. The media's not going to help us - but the web and the Constitution will. The way to challenge the election is spelled out right there in the Constitution - put together the above-specified legal affidavit, and we have a legal case.
