-- So? De-certify and let's find out at the SCOTUS if it is allowed. --

The way I see it, the question of a state withdrawing its conclusion has two parts. First, withdrawing the conclusion and then "so what?" Not a flippant "so what" but what actually are the ramifications?

That question lands in Congress, and Congress has no obligation to accept anything a state says or withdraws. There may be an obligation under the law, but Congress blows off the law all the time. Nothing the people can do about it.

Courts aren't going to step in on this sort of question. The most they'd do is take the case and declare the issue belongs in Congress.

But first a state has to declare its conclusion and electoral votes were improvidently sent.

I never expect a government to be honest or to do the right thinbg. It is contrary to the nature of government.

Its all about greed, power and control.

That’s why the Framers wanted to limit the power, size and scope of government (i.e., to minimize the opportunities for abuse of power).

They tried to warn us but we refused to listen.

So, I guess we should just give up and let them cheat and get away with it... right?
