Why is the assumption that the Secret Service would escort the President from the White House? The Secret Service is squarely under the control of the executive branch (formerly the Department of the Treasury, now the Department of Homeland Security). I wouldn’t expect them to be the actual last-chance arbiters of a Presidential election.
