    Let's just say that by the time electors cast their votes, based on certified votes, and Joe Biden is elected POTUS.

    A week, a month, whatever time later, Sydney Powell's allegation of massive voter fraud are shown to be true. Again, I'm not saying they are, I'm spitballing.

    The election is proven to have been illegitimate. Does it still stand because the states have certified their results? I read of one case where this happened at a local level, and the court overturned the result, awarding the election to the presumed loser.

    There is the peaceful way and there is the violent way.

    The peaceful way is this: the "certified winner" and Congress cooperate to transfer power to the "real winner." I see a path in the 25th Amendment for something like this: (1) The "certified" Vice President resigns, (2) the "certified President" appoints the "real winner" Vice President with Congressional confirmation, (3) the "certified winner" resigns and let the "real winner"/"Vice President" ascend to the Presidency. Might take a little while to happen after the "certified winner" have been inaugurated, but it will work. As in any democracy, the real "losing side" need to concede power for a peaceful transition.

    The violent way is some sort of armed coup.

      Funny thing about this, had the perp been a Democrat, Trump, Tucker, and Hannity would have made him a household name.

      After all this didn’t get resolved until summer of 2019, barely a year ago. Instead they reach back a quarter century or more for their examples.

            Maybe after Republicans take back the House in 2022 there will be some appetite for real voting reform. Maybe we can get a constitutional amendment passed that formalizes voting so that every voter votes in person, provides either voter ID or a thumbprint, and we never have to worry about the integrity of our elections again.

                Once the electors vote, it's a done deal.

                But...Can you imagine the blow-back on Biden?

                  Is there a mechanism for overthrowing the results of an election, even if illegitimate (again, I'm not saying it is. Just...spitballin')?

                          You would have to impeach potus and vpotus

                          And somehow prevent Ms. Pelosi from becoming president when you do.

                          Maybe impeach Ms. Harris and replace her with Mr. Trump
                          Then impeach Mr. Biden

                            If a VP vacancy occurs the president picks the replacement subject to senate approval

                                Impeachment will not work since the votes are not there.

                                  In this case the votes would be cast by people who want to fix a terrible mistake.
