In reply to the discussion: URGENT IMMEDIATE ACTION needed: a chance for election do-over? [View all]RealityChik
(382 posts)18. Got any other suggested solutions?
Austria and Ukraine have or are doing it. Ireland is working on one and since Putin interference in Brexit is suspected, the U.K. is working on a Brexit revote as well.
It's clear that neither the Trump administration or Congress will do nothing about it. Or by the time the Dems look into it, Flynn, Carter, Stone, Trump and Putin will have destroyed all the evidence and murdered anyone who could spill the beans and out the criminals.
So, if, We, the People, don't have the political will to save ourselves by exhausting every possible avenue we have to protect our country by any means possible, no matter how remote or unprecedented, what do you propose we do? I'm open to any and all suggestions as long as they don't involve cut-and-run.

There is no need for a new election. Hillary won, period. She needs to be sworn as POTUS

Neither Austria nor Ukraine nor Ireland nor the UK live under the terms of our Constitution.

Thank you so much for at least TRYING! I'm amazed we're not flooding the courts with lawsuits -

1. Put pressure on Congress to check him. 2. Replace Congress in 2018. 3. Replace him in 2020.

The SCOTUS could not nullify the election even if it was conceded that the vote was rigged.

They also get more "Senators per capita" but that's a provision of the Constitution also...

The only way we can be rid of him is to put pressure on Congress. Like a national strike/boycott
