Here's my concern: It's one thing to have an audit or even a recount to better understand where the election would have gone if it had been more legitimately counted. However, it is another thing entirely if the evidence is properly preserved and untampered with enough to prove that point when it comes time. What might be called “intentional spoliation” for instance.

This is why having the legislatures of the state possibly select the electors regardless of election results, as is the law an as was placed to abate this specific kind of voter fraud that is so widespread, can be potentially dangerous. Most people do not understand that the vote of the people can be overruled by a legislature under these circumstances, though these circumstances are specific in obviously quite rare. They may perceive, an I'm sure the media would encourage this interpretation, that the legislature is selecting electors against what they perceive as a legitimate election is in fact denying the will of the people. If the legislature does this in a particular state, that state’s citizens on the left will undoubtedly riot more so than they have ever done, at any time, in any city before. I could imagine it arising to CHOPx10 levels. We have to be very careful about how these people are 1) easily manipulated, 2) how easy it is to rile them up, and 3) how the msm WILL exploit both. We're walking a fine line here legally that is not necessarily intuitive to understand, and the people that would react violently to that are not interested in being explained to rationally. It’s kinda an optics thing. I think this could be fixed, personally, by either the state legislatures or by the Supreme Court. However, in the former, we would see more widespread chaos of a far more dangerous variety, because it would be more immediate to their locations. In the latter that fire would be set, all at once around the country, but it will be slower to grow because the evidence wouldn't be in proximity to these rioters and they would instead have to read and think about what the ramifications are of the Supreme Court decision over a couple of days. At least, before they finally snap. This is going to be a research experiment to end all research experiments in terms of sociopolitical science.
