I'm new here so not very good at posting new stuff yet. Apparently, the constitution allows a nullification of an illegal election. Done through petition to th Supreme Court. This has been done. The hearing is on Feb 21st, but doesn't yet have wide public support. I found it by accident at:
@revote2017 on Twitter
"Writ of Mandamus on SCOTUS docket to NULLIFY 2016 pres election because of Russian interference." Has already been filed and updated.
And at http://revote2017.org for info and a link to the petition on change.org
Sorry for exposing my "newbieness" with this post. This is urgency at all costs, including my embarrassment for being so clueless about DU formatting. If any of you DU Masters can formulate a better call-to-action post, please have at it!
Almost forgot: Needs another 900+ petition signatures YESTERDAY (and donations if you can swing it)

(58,708 posts)It's good press for us on the left, but I doubt that it will go anywhere.
There is only two processes to constitutionally remove the president, impeachment or 25th Amendment, Section 4. Frankly, I kind of doubt the USSC will even hear this suit.

(39,171 posts)The SC only takes a tiny fraction of the cases filed with it. The legal bar to file a writ is very low - it was a favorite tactic of the Birthers and we all know how that turned out.
MineralMan
(146,331 posts)There is no pathway to that. Period. If the election were nullified, Pence would become President. You may remember that he was elected to be vice-president by the Electoral College and in a separate vote.
In any case, the Supreme Court is not going to actually hear that case, even though it is on the docket. Why? Because there is nothing in the Constitution that allows a presidential election to be nullified. It's all very simple, really. We hold presidential elections every four years. Once the Electoral College has voted and Congress accepts that vote, it's over.
Please don't waste your time on this. It doesn't matter how many signatures the petition gets. Petitions carry zero weight.

A Writ of Mandamus nullifies an election and removes an entire cabinet. Impeachment only removes the president but we're stuck with the rest of the criminal cabal, aka Trump cabinet, as in ALL OF THEM.
Sweden had a do-over. Even the Ukraine got a do-over. So why can't the United States of America act on a clause in our constitution to nullify and re-do our illegal, tampered with election?
All it takes is the political will by the people to do so. Do we not have that anymore? Please consider this today and send me to the dunk tank for a laugh tomorrow. Just give this a moment of your time.
Correction: Austria, not Sweden, conducting a revote in the fall of 2017, although not with the objective we are looking for...in fact, just the opposite. But still, shows that it's been done legitimately by other countries, so why not ours?

(146,331 posts)To help you, here's a link to a fairly simple explanation of that legal term. It has really nothing to do with nullification of elections in this country. I assure you that the Supreme Court will refuse to hear arguments in that case.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandamus
As for your second point, the United States is neither Sweden or Ukraine. Our system of government and how it governs is completely different than in those two nations. Why can't we nullify a presidential election? Because there is no mechanism in our system of government to do that. Our Constitution governs presidential elections. Everything needed to know about them is included in that document. No mention of nullification exists.
The people, indeed, can change the government. They can change Presidents. Every four years we vote on who will become our President, as described in the Constitution. That is our control over our own government. However, once we do that and elect a President, only the Congress can remove that President. That's also in the Constitution.
I highly recommend a careful reading of the Constitution, including all of its amendments. A careful reading. A reading that makes an attempt to understand what is written there.

(382 posts)On the subject, and I usually do more research on a subject before posting, but the court review is NEXT TUESDAY! I'm willing to risk embarrassment for my cluelessness on this occasion because of the urgency. Note that I am as skeptical as the rest of you but after being scared to death by the latest findings by Adam Khan posted on his Twitter account @khanoisseur last night, I'm willing to try just about any legal opportunities, no matter how untested or deeply buried in our constitution they may be.
For me at this point of now, semantics have to be "trumped" (pun intended) by expediency...
And a giant leap of faith.

(7,656 posts)In order to install Hillary, it would take something like elevating Marks v. Stinson to apply to presidential election
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/russian-interference-could-give-courts-legal-authority_us_584be136e4b0151082221b9c
snip...at least one federal court decision suggests there may be some federal case law on the question of whether it is possible to invalidate the outcome of an election after the fact when there is fraud, and replace a candidate benefited by fraud with his opponent.
The 1993 state senate contest pitted Republican Bruce Marks against Democrat William G. Stinson. Stinson was named the winner, but was later accused of participating in a scheme with elections officials to commit election fraud. Namely, Stinson was accused of conspiring to cast illegally obtained absentee ballots in his favor.
In February 1994, after Stinson had already taken office, the federal judge ordered he be removed from his State Senate office and that be certified the winner within 72 hours.
Two of the elected officials who testified in the Pennsylvania case said under oath that they were aware of the fraud, had intentionally failed to enforce laws, and hurried to certify Stinson the winner in order to bury the story. To some, the narrative draws parallels to the Washington Posts revelation that Republican Mitch McConnell was aware of the CIAs conclusion that Russians had intervened and opted to do nothing...snip

Whatever became of that 4 member team of US Senators who were supposed to investigate the possibility of Russian interference prior to the Electoral College vote?

(1,850 posts)I read about this initiative a while back. Their website is good, explains how they have reorganized. We must support this and fight for our rights at every turn. Attack on many fronts.
Calling and writing letters, attending protests, rallies, meetings, are some things we can all be doing.
Those who have legal expertise are pursuing various avenues. Something may stick, or pierce and deflate if we keep throwing our disapproval and our numbers at "them"
RealityChik
(382 posts)Some of your time to considerate this.
Although I wonder if the recent coupling of an investigation request WITH a revote request was a good idea at this late date. Might add too much complexity for a favorable decision on both options at once? Simplicity would seem to be the most viable path to a favorable decision? Your thoughts?
MyMission
(1,850 posts)I truly believe we must attack on many fronts. File papers to question the legitimacy of the election, to question 45's sanity, loyalty, financial connections. Bog them down, in litigation and discovery motions.We must also continue to protest and call and write letters to our reps and to.blogs, editors, and social media. They want us to STFU, accept, and believe their lies. we will not! We must persist, resist.
My background is in psychology and statistics. I feel and see that our reaction(outrage) is far greater than the tea party. There are more of us. Sometimes I think of this movement as the new moral majority. We are the.moral ones. The election numbers were 46.1% voted for the guy who got elected, and 53.9% did Not vote for him. Of the 46%, about 1/3 regret it, leaving about 30% of deplorables who really support him, and 9-10% who don't approve but still reply that they do when they are polled. So 39% approve, from a recent poll, but at least 50% disapprove of the direction our country is going. Its going in directions we've never imagined.
A president and his administration comitting treason?!?! A crazy narcissist in office?!
We must keep up the fight. Litigation is one of the few things that 45 knows he.must accept the outcome. We need to.keep hammering back at.him (them).

This "do over" nonsense crops up here at least once a week (and this isn't the first time in the last week) and the supporters such as yourself can never give constitutional justification for it. I asked you earlier to provide any citation from that document that would support what you're suggesting and you have yet to provide same.

He is the president. The only.......only.......recourses now are either impeachment and conviction or the 25th amendment. Pursuing anything else now is just a waste of time and energy.

(382 posts)only because if it were possible to do this, the option to bypass Congress and the Administration to act as citizens to have the entire cabinet removed asap, as an alternative to impeachment, which only would remove Trump, but we'd be stuck the rest of his cronies and sycophants for the remainder of the term.
I have no interest in having Hillary as President. It doesn't even HAVE to be a Democrat, altho I prefer it of course. I just want Loser-in-Chief Trump and "His-Hatefulness" Bannon gone before they carry out a coup and turn us into a police state.

I guess now is a great time to be a lawyer, eh? The field was all but stagnant until this nightmare began. Law school attendance has been steadily decreasing and young lawyers were complaining about a flooded market of job applicants.
I imagine the judges are stressed to the max and completely exhausted, though.
BzaDem
(11,142 posts)Others in the thread have already explained how our Constitution does not allow for "do-overs." This would be true even if there was unmistakable evidence of high treason from Trump on down. The Constitution does allow for impeachment of the President, and temporary removal through the 25th amendment. But short of the kind of overt lawbreaking that would turn his own party against him, he will serve out at least one term in office.
Furthermore, this isn't some sort of accidental defect in the formulation of the Constitution. Respect for electoral outcomes is essential to any democracy. The bar is very high for overturning such outcomes (broad bipartisan support to do so), as it needs to be in order to have a functioning democracy.
Imagine a world where what you propose could have any chance of succeeding -- a world where the opposition party (through courts or other institutions) could unilaterally overturn an election. Such a world could not have meaningful elections. Every transfer of power would be prone to violence -- if such transitions of power happened at all. Elections are the only mechanism that both sides agree will bind them, even if they lose. Without a mechanism to encourage peaceful acceptance by the opposition, power disputes would be settled by force.
RealityChik
(382 posts)After reading the case and commentary at several law websites covering the entire affair, I read that since there is no precedent for this whole cyber interference, the only thing SCOTUS CAN do is nullify the election and call for a do-over. In case you were never able to slog through to my more informed posts later in the day, below is a partial cut and paste of that later post called "SCOTUS To Decide Whether to Here the Case on Feb 21st":
"The main argument for the writ is that, as per the U.S. Constitution, it is the responsibility of the federal government to keep U.S. territory safe from foreign invasion. The petition cites evidence of such an invasion, that is, the Russian hacking" of an undetermined number of government, state and political organization servers, before, during and after the 2016 Election cycle. Therefore the petition "asks that the entire 2016 election be nullified, on the grounds that cyber-territory in the U.S. was invaded with the intention of altering the results of our 2016 Presidential election. The petitioners are seeking an entirely new election."
"Per Title 28 of the U.S. Code § 1251, SCOTUS has 'original jurisdiction' over cases like this due to the involvement of a foreign state. There is no remedy for the foreign cyber-invasion, they argue, other than complete nullification."
And if such a "do-over" becomes a reality, can you imagine the chaos it will bring?
BzaDem
(11,142 posts)You say the Constitution grants this power, but you provide no evidence. You don't quote the Constitution at all (instead paraphrasing a section about foreign invasions, leaving out the fact that it is the executive that is responsible for repelling such invasions, not the judiciary), and the one section of US law you quote (not the Constitution) simply states a completely banal legal point about original jurisdiction.
Quite simply, even if there was a video tape of the vote being rigged (there is no evidence of any kind), and even if that had anything to do with the concept of an "invasion" (it doesn't), the Supreme Court has zero power to remedy the situation. The electoral college has already voted, and those votes were already counted by Congress.
Prior to the vote counting by Congress, the Supreme Court could rule that the vote counting in a state was not in accordance with state or federal law. But even in that case, a state legislature could just pass a bill directly appointing Republican electors.
After Congress counts the electoral votes, there is no judicial remedy of any kind. The Constitution expressly assigns the task of counting the electoral votes to Congress. Even if Congress decided to ignore the electoral votes from the states and declare Trump the victor of the count (even if he got no electoral votes), the judiciary STILL would have no role to play. Such a move would certainly prompt a constitutional crisis, but the judiciary would not play a role in resolving it.
If the judiciary would have no power even in a black and white case of Congress ignoring unambiguous results of an election, it certainly would have no power to do anything in this case (where the results clearly indicated a Trump win, and were respected).

(105 posts)It is just that the possibility of a "do over" has been brought up several times here in recent past, even though it keeps being pointed out there is actually nothing that would allow for another Presidential election before 2020. Then again, some people also think if Trump were removed from office, naturally his replacement would be the runner-up in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton.
The reality is Trump will be POTUS until 2020 unless he resigns or is impeached, in which case Pence would become President. Should he resign or be impeached, the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, is next on the list. There is no chance of HRC becoming POTUS before 2020. You would have to have Trump appoint a Democrat to a high position and have an incredible number in the line of succession become President and leave the office again before a Democrat would have the chance to become POTUS within the next four years.

(382 posts)Remember the petition for a Writ of Mandamus I asked for signatures on this morning? OK...So, I've calmed down and now I've got my s*** together..
Here you go:
The Constitution of the United States, per Article IV § 4, stipulates:
The United States shall guarantee to every state of this Union a Republican form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion."
https://analysisanddiscourse.com/ states:
"The main argument for the writ is that, as per the U.S. Constitution, it is the responsibility of the federal government to keep U.S. territory safe from foreign invasion. The petition cites evidence of such an invasion, that is, the Russian hacking" of an undetermined number of government, state and political organization servers, before, during and after the 2016 Election cycle. Therefore the petition "asks that the entire 2016 election be nullified, on the grounds that cyber-territory in the U.S. was invaded with the intention of altering the results of our 2016 Presidential election. The petitioners are seeking an entirely new election."
Per Title 28 of the U.S. Code § 1251, SCOTUS has original jurisdiction over cases like this due to the involvement of a foreign state. There is no remedy for the foreign cyber-invasion, they argue, other than complete nullification.
An update of the petition is now also requesting that the court appoint a "Special Master, with the immunities, security classifications, subpoena powers, staffing and reasonable funding" to conduct an independent investigation of the intrusions and determine the culpability of persons involved. (Uh-oh, look out Congress Repubs!!!)
From: http://progressivearmy.com/2017/01/20/ginsburg-weighing-decision-hear-case-possible-russian-hacking-election/
"A response is due from SCOTUS on February 21 with an answer as to whether the Court will hear oral arguments in this case. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsberg is currently reviewing the case. The fact that this petition for a writ of mandamus is even being considered is quite remarkable."
