THERE IS A PROCESS WHEN A FEDERAL NATIONAL ELECTION IS CHALLENGED DUE TO FRAUDULENT CHALLENGES THROUGH OUT THE NATION.
NOW SINCE THE 2020 ELECTION THERE HAS BEEN FOUND FRAUDULENT FINDINGS THROUGH OUT THE BIDEN CWMPAIGN LED BY A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE USA. AND DEMOCRATIC STATES.
WHEN DONALD TRUMP ASKED PENCE TO CHALLENGE THE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS...TRUMP WANTED THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS TO BE USED. BECAUSE MULTIPLE STATES HAD CLAIMS OF FRAUD...MULTIPLE STATES USED "COUNT EVERY VOTE" AND FEDERAL LAW ONLY ALLOWS FOR VOTES BY U.S. CITIZENS. MSIL IN BALLOTS OUTNUMBERED THE AMOUNT OF VOTERS USING MAIL IN VOTES.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS...
Constitutional and legal procedures for addressing voter fraud claims
Claims of voter fraud in the United States trigger a multi-layered process involving both state and federal authorities, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The specific steps involved can vary depending on the nature and timing of the alleged fraud, but generally involve these elements:
1. Initial challenges and investigations (state level)
Voter Challenges: Many states allow registered voters to challenge the eligibility of other voters, either on the registration rolls before an election or at the polls on Election Day.
Election Day Challenges: These challenges, often raised by poll watchers, may involve questioning a voter's eligibility based on residency, citizenship, age, or other factors.
Provisional Ballots: In many states, a challenged voter who insists on their eligibility can cast a provisional ballot, which is reviewed after Election Day to determine whether it should be counted.
Post-Election Hearings: Some states require post-election hearings to determine the validity of challenged votes or voter eligibility issues.
State Investigation: If allegations of fraud arise, state election officials (often the Secretary of State or a state election board) are typically responsible for conducting investigations to determine the validity of the claims and whether any laws were violated.
2. Federal involvement
FBI Investigation: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has a role in protecting the integrity of federal elections and can investigate election crimes, particularly if they involve federal candidates, election officials abusing their office, false voter registration, targeting protected classes, or campaign finance violations.
Department of Justice (DOJ): The DOJ is responsible for enforcing federal laws, including those prohibiting voter fraud and interference with voting rights. This can include prosecuting individuals who engage in illegal voting, voter suppression, or other forms of election fraud.
Federal Laws: Several federal laws address voter fraud, such as 18 U.S.C. § 241 (conspiracy to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate voters) and provisions of the Voting Rights Act and National Voter Registration Act (prohibiting false information in registration, multiple voting, etc.).
3. Recounts and audits
Recounts: States have laws outlining the conditions under which a recount can be requested or automatically triggered, usually in cases of a narrow margin of victory.
Post-Election Audits: Many states conduct post-election audits to verify the accuracy of the vote count and the overall integrity of the election process, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Risk-Limiting Audits: These audits involve examining an increasing number of ballots if discrepancies are detected, potentially leading to a full hand count if necessary to support the reported results, says Verified Voting.
4. Legal challenges
Election Contests: Legal challenges to election outcomes (contests) are primarily resolved through state laws and litigation in state and/or federal courts, according to the Library of Congress (.gov).
Electoral Count Reform Act: This federal law, passed in 2022, sets a higher bar for challenging a state's slate of electors in Congress, requiring a vote from 20 percent of each chamber (House and Senate) to consider a challenge.
In essence, while the US Constitution entrusts states with the primary responsibility for administering elections, federal law and agencies play a crucial role in safeguarding the integrity of the process and addressing serious allegations of fraud or interference. It is important to note that credible allegations of widespread voter fraud are rare and most incidents are found to be isolated or due to administrative errors, says the Brennan Center for Justice.
