Change.org petition calling for an election redo

I’ve seen a change.org petition circulating on Facebook that currently has 1.3 million plus signatures calling for a complete redo of the election due to rampant fraud and lack of transparency. Quoting the person starting it, the greatest injustice done to the American voter has taken place and unless it’s corrected will be forever an illegitimate result. The crazy is getting deep out there, I still saw trump jumpers up town waiving their flags in support today.

Where in the constitution does it say there can be a re-do election if one side is unhappy?

Just trying to learn here.

Ever. They'll wear themselves out eventually, as they get used to the changes from this perfectly legitimate election.

Well I'd like a redo of the last season of Game of Thrones but we all have to learn to cope with disappointment.

And the SCOTUS would never call for that, in particular because they know they have no such authority but also because it would throw the country into utter chaos.

Inauguration day and the meeting of the electoral college can not be moved without an amendment.

So even if there was good reason (there isn't) a new election is simply impossible.

Good news though there will be another Presidential election in four years.

They can go pound sand. Trump whined in 2016 the election would be crooked. The minute he took office all the way to Tuesday, he did NOTHING to fix the system he claimed was broken. If he thinks he was robbed, he has only himself to blame.

After all there was plenty of peope who stayed home because they thought HC had it sown up.

We should ask them if they didn't vote.
