It really looks like Maricopa is going to open a dam, but what does this mean? Is there any legal precedent?
Let's leave aside the presidential race. I don't think there is any legal precedent there for a stolen election, or, if there is, it certainly goes back a ways. What about the congressional elections and other elections? Would this mean special elections, or just swapping the people out, or what? Any lawfags out there with sauce?
In my opinion, once the fraudulent/illegal ballots are identified & the legal ballots are counted, there isn't a need for a new election.
It would be great if the person elected through fraud congratulated the rightful winner & stepped down. But that's not gonna happen.
The rightful winner ciuld file a quo warranto where the seated official would have to show in court under what authority they're hold the seat. In my opinion, this would be the best course of action. If the seated official cannot prove they legally won the election, they'll be forced to vacate the seat & the rightful winner will be seated. Of course this would be dependent on the judiciary hearing the quo warranto.
As far as the presidency, AZ flipping to Trump will only result in their 11 electoral votes moving from the Biden column to the Trump column. It will not result in a change to the outcome of the election. This is why it's so imperative for other states to do forensic audits. Once Trump has 270 electoral votes, maybe he files a quo warranto & the military removes Biden when he fails to prove he legally won the election.
If AZ is proven to have been stolen by deliberate fraud, then the election was fraudulent, and Biden is disqualified. There's no certain amount of fraud that's acceptable.
