Maybe such an outcome would result in reform of the stupid electoral
system.

I, for one, have never found anything stupid about the system. It works as
designed.

Just my take, but I don't recall anything about the SCOTUS's constitutional
authority in making decisions as to electoral outcomes of POTUS?

Ginsberg's dissenting opinion sums it up for me.

"In sum, the Court' s conclusion that a constitutionally adequate recount
is *impractical* is a prophecy the Court' s own judgment will not allow to
be tested. Such an untested prophecy should not decide the Presidency of the
United States. I dissent." http://www.usatoday.com/news/vote2000/pres246.htm

I join rw, in the belief that the system needs repair, but not likely for
the same reasons.
