Some thoughts:

1. The Electoral College meets on the 19th.

2. That date is fixed by law.

3. There is no legal provision for another date (3 USC 6 refers)

4. The Electoral College is not a single body, but rather 51 such bodies - each of which meets in its own state capital to cast the ballots (US Constitution refers).

5. The "briefing" was requested by 9 Demoncrat electors (probably all from Cantifornia, but who knows?) and 1 Texas elector who has already said he won't vote for Trump.

6. The briefings would have to be done by next Tuesday.

7. There would have to be 51 such briefings.

8. Cantifornia is going to vote for the Witch anyway.

9. Good luck in getting this done by the 19th.

So what to make of this? There is a little known Pennsylvania case (sorry, that's where it's from) that overturned an election after the individual took place. The basis of that suit was fraud (and guess which side undertook the fraud?). The person who took office was removed and the challenger inserted. The same story line is being pursued here. That is why Stein needed to find fraud, and since that failed, here we are.

So the threat isn't the Electoral College vote, it's later.

Stay tuned...

Nope— Under the constitution the only remedy of removal is— IMPEACHMENT. They lose.

You are saying there is federal precedent for removing an elected official from office if evidence of fraud can be found post hoc? Would this apply to the office of president, which the only recourse is impeachment?
