99. No, there is no "must"...
...about any of this.

Congress can take any action it deems fit, with any information it has at hand. That includes appointing "by law" an acting, interim president.

The Ohio Dems can and should send their slate of electors to the archivist. If Congress deems them valid, with a big push from public opinon, they are counted as valid. End of story.

And any recount outcome is irrelevant if the electors are objected to based on the suppression. There is no question that poor minority voters were forced to wait in hours-long poll-tax-lines, while affluent, white voters were not.

That is the simple question we are putting to Senators and Reps (www.thedeanpeople.org):

Is this something you are willing to become complicit with?

This is not theory. It is the law, as written.

Congress is the safety valve for bogus, racist vote tallies.

We're just demanding that they do their sworn duty to defend the Constitution.
