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.

SCOTUS has already said its up to the states to run their elections. Decertify and see where the chips land. Get a set of balls.

If the law has no provision for “decertifying,” then it ain’t gonna happen. SCOTUS won’t touch it. Doesn’t matter how virtuous you think that it would be. The law has nothing to do with virtue or morality. You need to understand this, if you don’t already.
