Reply #26: These are convoluted issues

Here's the point.

The Constitution delegates the right to determine how slates are elected to states. The legislature writes the law into the state Constitution. There is no interpretation.

All states (except Maine) state their slates will be elected by the result of the popular vote. If any state did not adhere to this law, there is no Constitutional avenue to change the manner in which they select their slate after the official election date.

If Conyers can prove this did not happen, the slates of states violating their own laws are out. There is no recourse for changing a state law after November 2. None.

How does Conyers prove Ohio broke its own law. He does this via proving substantial election irregularity. Fraud is not necessary because this is not a criminal proceeding. What is necessary is proof the slate was not chosen as a result of the outcome of the popular vote. (Blackwell idiocally put in writing he declared the winner of Ohio before the votes were counted. Not that that would prove Conyers' case; just a footnote to the discussion here.) If Conyers can demonstrate the slate of electors from Ohio was not chosen as a result of the popular vote, Ohio is out.
