Harper's, 2005: no constitutional recourse, should it be proven, finally, that the wrong guy “won.”

This, from an article on the "interesting" results of the 2004 election, particularly in Ohio. If I understand (and I am no Constitutional scholar), even if Husted and Scott blatantly ignore the law and a RMoney "win" is the result, the most that could result (but likely wouldn't) would be legal action against them by the DOJ. The election would stand.

This has to rank as at least as important an issue as recalling or indicting these two and their cohorts, because voter suppression and election theft seems to have become part of the repug DNA and there will always be more of these clowns ready to carry on the criminality.

I realize the PTB would pitch a fit, but has anyone taken on the effort to correct this situation?
