Suppose the entire election is found to be Void and Invalid due to pervasive Fraud?

I'm no Constitutional scholar, but what little I know tells me there is no clear solution.

So, what do you think?

Cheaters concede?
Revolution?
Election Do-Over?

In the election of 1800, the Federalist incumbent John Adams ran against the rising Republican Thomas Jefferson. The extremely partisan and outright nasty campaign failed to provide a clear winner because of a constitutional quirk. Presidential electors were required to vote for two people for the offices of president and vice-president. The individual receiving the highest number of votes would become president. Unfortunately,Jefferson and his vice-presidential running mate Aaron Burr both received the identical number of electoral votes, and the House of Representatives voted to break the tie. When Adams’s Federalists attempted to keep Jefferson from the presidency, the stage was set for the first critical constitutional crisis of the new American federal republic.

@Vegasfor30 Unfortunately for you, the electoral votes weren’t tied in this case. Far from it.
