Election of President by Electors and the Counting Process

Analysis argues Congress has no constitutional power to reject electoral votes or overturn a State’s certified electors. The count is for verification, not a rejection of votes, and a valid majority of electors elects the President regardless of Congress counting actions. The text cites Hamilton and Kent to support that the electors’ majority determines election.

Contested Elector Appointments and House Role in Election

A detailed constitutional analysis argues that states appoint electors, not Congress, and Congress may only act to resolve disputed electors when a state-certified vote fails to elect a president. The text outlines when Congress can look beyond certificates, such as dual sets of electors or revolutionary governments, and emphasizes that the House elects only if the Electoral College fails to produce a majority.
