      Just like everything else? They also contested the 2020 election but that doesn’t mean they actually had the truth or law on their side. I don’t know why you’re giving any weight to what Mike Johnson says.

      The Democratic candidate is chosen at the convention, which hasn’t happened yet. What would a legal contest even be based on?

        It doesn’t matter. They can make up whatever justification they want and drag it through the court system. Maybe they get it up to the Supreme Court and get the win handed to them like in Bush v. Gore.

          If you think things are that off the rails then it doesn’t matter whether this is the inciting event or something else because they’re completely disconnected from even the premise of law.

            It certainly seems to be that way.

      from the article

      Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote that there is “no credence” to the notion that the Democratic Party could not legally replace Biden on the ticket, as he is not the nominee yet – the nominating process generally takes place during the Democratic National Convention.
