I agree and really it is just me thinking out loud to go through it.

I do wonder though, in 1929 the Erie Railroad case, evidently they threw out common law to bring in maritime, and all prior precedent along with it. The SCOTUS deciding on something like this may not even consider the Throckmorton case.

I saw this today in an article on Zerohedge

"The proposal would also allow a judge to void the outcome of an election if the number of fraudulent votes could change the result."

The quote is towards the bottom. If the bill passes it allows a judge to declare how much fraud is allowable. To me that is crazy but leads me to think that the 1878 Throckmorton precedent no longer stands.

I am not a lawyer and appreciate any and all feedback. I am only trying to think things through.
