Remedy for Russian meddling should be new election

It sounds like a story lifted from the pages of a spy novel. U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin led a cyberespionage scheme designed to help Donald Trump win the presidential election.

What's even worse is that Putin's plan worked and Trump now seems to be siding with Russia against U.S. intelligence agencies. It's hard to know how to respond to this because it is unprecedented. But it is essential to take whatever action is necessary to make this right, as difficult, complicated and even uncomfortable as that may be.

The hard reality is that the presidential election we just held was delegitimized by foreign interference. This is not some conspiracy theory or fevered fantasy; it is a conclusion that flows directly from the unanimous assessments of the U.S. intelligence community.

It would be an enormous mistake to ignore this...

1. And the Trump camp was most likely

collaborating with the Russians while they were doing it!
We will be the laughing stock of the world.

3. You almost don't need to do that.

Go unlock a few voting machines in Milwaukee, Detroit, Flint, and Philadelphia, and the problem could go away on its own.

Not that this will ever happen, but....

7. There are no redos for US Presidential elections.

Just like the Brexit vote, we are stuck with these results.

Of course people already knew this, which kind of boggles the mind why we keep getting these vote again posts.

Only one roll of the dice allowed.

We have to either impeach him (House) and convict him (Senate), or remove him via the 25th amendment. Those are the only processes to change the election. In both cases we would get President Pence.

Just to play this silly game, a re do of the election would likely give Trump even more votes and perhaps the popular vote win.

Seriously?! They're still proposing this kind of nonsense? To be blunt, I'd love for Obama to attempt it, just for the pleasure of seeing him frogmarched into Leavenworth. I don't think Obama is that kind of stupid, and I don't think he has anything like that kind of courage, even if he thought it could work.
