So the actual tally of ballots is unimportant?

@SW-User btw that was a serious question.

If the representatives on the college don't vote the way the public vote went what recourse in USA law is there?

@SW-User It's up to the individual states to set rules for electors, including remedies and punishments for faithless electors.

@OggggO so in theory they could arrive announce Trump is elected on a landslide then he gives them a pardon and its all sorted Supreme Court will dismiss any appeal as they are loaded for Trump....

Hmmm all sorted then.

@SW-User For Buddy it is all about faith in the orange messiah. No facts or evidence required.

@SW-User Not quite. Presidential pardon powers only apply to federal laws, and the Supreme Court can only take on cases that make their way up the appeal chain.
