Sat Dec 10, 2016, 11:26 AMpotone (1,332 posts)A question for lawyers and Constitutional experts on DU.I am beyond outraged by the revelations that the Russians manipulated our elections, by the seeming refusal of Republicans in Congress to take it seriously, and by the–so far–limp response of Democrats. It seems to me that this should call into question the legitimacy of Trump's victory in the Electoral College. This is unprecedented foreign interference in our elections, as far as I know. This would be bad in any election, but given what we are facing with a Trump presidency, it is nothing short of disastrous.But as a practical matter, what can we do? I would like to hear about any legal actions that are possible to overturn the election in light of these revelations. I am all for protest marches, but those alone won't have any legal force.
Response to potone (Original post)Sat Dec 10, 2016, 11:32 AMStar Member Uponthegears (1,205 posts)1. There is little under the lawBut the suspension of the law in times of national emergency is specifically acknowledged.
The only Russian interference I heard was leaking info to wiki leaks.A leak is NOT election tampering.It is not like pouring US tax dollars into an effort to tamper in Israeli elections. THAT was tampering.
Or a hack into a state's voter database, that leads back to 0bama's DHS.
All this "Russia" madness is just an extension of thier denial...they'll NEVER grasp the legitimate reason(s) they lost this election.
Any word from laserass, the Private Attorney General?
I was thinking Saul Goodman for this particular case.https://youtu.be/pPd67CEL54E
