IANAL, but I don't think it could be overturned anyway. There are certain gates, with state bureaucrats certifying the results and all. I think once those are past, you can't go backwards through them anyway. And in any case, don't forget that they're only voting for electors, not for the president him/herself.
I was once involved in fighting a referendum. The local government demonstrably cheated, publishing information about the proposal that was clearly and significantly false. But I was advised by an attorney that in the end, they're never going to undo an election, so we shouldn't waste our time and money fighting.
- karmelapple 10y agoAny more information about this?
- CWuestefeld 10y agoI could rant on the topic for days. Do you have questions? (If you're really curious, see my profile to get my personal email address)
- DennisP 10y agoBased on the news articles, the campaigns have a right to challenge the results, as long as they do it before a deadline (which I think is Friday). Publishing false information isn't sufficient to overturn an election, but proving that the vote count itself is incorrect is another matter. It's possible that we're such an incompetent democracy that accurate vote counts are irrelevant, but I hope that's not the case.
