Article 1 sec. 5 of the United States Constitution grants the power to Judge the federal Elections of Senators and Representatives to each House. Not the Courts including the supreme Court. The 12th Amendment and federal Laws in 3 USC ch. 1 secs. 1 thru 21 govern the Election of the President and make both Houses of Congress the Jury Judging those votes. Both Houses must agree to throw out Electors' votes from States if any are to be rejected and replaced. Once States certified their Electors and they voted the States' job in regard to that Election are done. That vote is federal not State therefore the federal Constitution and federal Laws rule not State Laws. So there is no recalling Electors by a State because once their votes are sent in, unless rejected by Congress, the States are finished in the process.
Now on to what none of the Officials have mentioned. All 70 of the "legal" cases that Trump or allies brought to federal Court should have been tossed by those federal Judges on Article 1 sec. 5 reasons because those Judges are not granted Jurisdiction over the federal elections, Congress is. The Judges threw them out saying either they were moot points due to States certifying the results, lack of standing or insufficient evidence. By doing this and not a single 1 of them mentioning Article 1 section 5 they were protecting Congress from having We the People demanding Congressional investigations of the Elections. If that demand were made Congress would have to choose; Deny investigating them publically or investigate them publically and possibly have to call for new elections. Recall that Nancy Pelosi was asked to have Congress intervene in Iowa Rep. election that the democrat lost by 22 votes with 25 votes for that democrat having been rejected and not counted. Pelosi denied this request. I believe because that would have enlightened We the People to Article 1 sec. 5 and the dam would have burst about having all or a lot of the elections publically examined by the Constitutionally prescribed Judicial Authority to do so, Congress.
Not 1 damn Judge including the supreme Court cited Article 1 sec. 5. Nor have any of our vaunted Constitutional protectors like Cruz, Rand Paul, Jim Jordan et all ever so much as mentioned that those Judges were stepping onto Congress' Authority to Judge the federal Elections. If any Judge had heard those cases in full and ruled other than dismissal either the supreme Court or Congress would have had to admit that it is Congress' not the Judiciary's responsibility.
