Jerroll Sanders Talks SCOTUS Petition For 2016 Election Revote w/ Shannon Fisher

While the world is paying attention to theatrical battles over President Trump’s executive orders and cabinet nominees, a largely unnoticed and potentially landmark case sits before the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. A petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to nullify the results of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election sits on the SCOTUS docket.

In this show, Shannon Fisher talks to Jerroll Sanders, who wrote the petition and acted as the legal strategist for a group leading the charge on this case, which has been assigned docket number 16-907. For the few who are aware of the case, this interview should clear up some confusion caused by multiple filings and multiple groups offering support. 

The main argument for the writ is that, per Article IV § 4 of the U.S. Constitution, it is the job of the federal government to keep U.S. territory safe from foreign invasion. The Constitution stipulates, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.” The petition cites evidence of such an invasion, namely the Russian hacking, and asks that the entire 2016 election be nullified, all the way back to the primaries, on the grounds that cyber-territory in the U.S. was invaded with the intention of altering the results of our Presidential election. The petitioners seek an entirely new election.
