Cobalt--That was the whole point of my 3:23 am original post.

IF this issue is not resolved by Jan. 6, no candidate has an electoral majority.

As the Constitution is written in Amendment XII, the HOUSE has the authority to elect a President from the top 3 candidates.

Will/can the House do that, while litigation is still pending re: those disputed votes.

Want to bet that the Republican house would try and do that, especially since they have 27 states on their side in the House?

I don't know how this will play out...the House might appoint a commission to review, if the litigants agree, OR they may simply appoint Hastert as Acting President OR the Supreme Court will make a decision.

This looks like 1876 but I don't know if that is enough precedent.
