The twists and turns of this entire situation are mind numbing. Then there are all the side bars: If FL is litigated, then the Repubs will challenge in NM, IA, and WI, while the Dems will challenge in NH. And others if I missed some close states. The issue of whether the House can vote for a President while the electoral votes are still in dispute is another problem entirely. The Supreme Court may review the details of the 1876 election to see the time parameters there. I believe that back then, the House of Representatives appointed the Commission to resolve the electoral votes. But that could have been because no party had control of a majority of the states. The 1876 precedent may resolve this, should neither candidate withdraw. And I stand by my belief that neither candidate should withdraw. No one ever said democracy was easy. It goes for the right fix, not the quick fix. TG
