It is true that Congress must accept these electoral college votes to count them. But it is important to understand Congress’s limited role. Its job is not to “go behind the returns” — to use the parlance of the 19th century — to judge for itself whether state law was properly followed in appointing electors.

@Madken65 you are apparently in one of the universes where I can't type very good. sorry
The only question for Congress is whether the electoral votes it receives from a state are the ones the state itself has sent pursuant to the state’s own laws.
