Oh my, the plots and dark conspiracies that get hatched by the primitives.

Should and could there be another election before 2020 if election was hacked?

If it is proven that the election was affected by a Trump/Russia conspiracy, should there be another election before 2020?

If so, what do you think the red line should be that triggers that decision? Would it have to include the actual hacking of the election results? What form of proof would we need?

What mechanism would be used to call for a new election? Example, at least a two-thirds senate and house vote in favor?

4. NO

Why do people ask this question?

It's like asking if Oprah Winfrey can unilaterally amend the Constitution. The answer is NO.

13. Maybe posting privileges on DU should be contingent on having read the Constitution

because these sorts of questions are posted with depressing regularity.

Read the damn Constitution, people.

11. Hillary should be installed as the actual/real POTUS.

She got the majority and should have the office by default. Don't bother with another election. Save the money.

Wouldn't that burn Trump's butt?

14. The president is chosen by the Electoral College.

You can hack/fix/rig millions of individual popular votes, but constitutionally, the only votes that matter are those of the 538 electors.

There’s no mechanism for “re-doing” an election, but even if there were, you’d have to show that the Electoral College votes were fraudulent, not the popular vote.

Exactly! Why ask for an answer from someone who misconstrues what the Constitution actually says when you can read it and misunderstand it yourself.

It took 4 replies for someone to call out the OP's ignorance, and The Velveteen Ocelot is a momentary voice of sanity, :rotf: . If DUpipo's  :stoner: -originated :jerkit: -wetdream happens, they can rail against President Pence until January of 2021, and maybe of 2025.

Even if you rolled the best dice ever and got #2, it wouldn't really have Jack to do with #1, you pathetic fool.

Of course in Democrat logic, you can say illogical stupid shit and get away with it, like "Punch a Nazi, also all Republicans and Trump voters are really Nazis, and why is there such a hateful political divide?'

The whole Trump-Russia Collusion delusion assumes that millions of Trump voters are easily fooled ignorant sheeple. A news media that wasn't partisan and who did not view normal people as that kind of sheeple would have annihilated the whole Trump-Russia Collusion delusion with mockery nearly 2 years ago.

Psssst, a little note to DUmmy Frustrated.

We are a constitutional republic, there is no such thing as the "popular" vote.

Our founders protected this nation from "popularity" contests through the establishment of an electoral college.

I know this frustrates you, but I never hear your side piss and moan when the Democrat wins, why is that?

Hey, if we are going to mess with the Constitution we should start by removing the damn 17th Amendment, which undermined EVERYTHING the entire USC stood for.

And, it goes without saying we should knock off that underthought 19th Amendment.  Biggest mistake we ever made.

And if DJT makes it past Jan 20, 2019; they can scream about President Pence until 2029.
