Question presented
I. Does the Electoral Count Act (inclusive of 3 U.S.C. § 5, the “safe harbor” statute) impose unconstitutional deadlines on state courts’ final determination of disputes over presidential electors? II. Was Petitioner denied due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, where because of the “deadlines” found in the Electoral Count Act (inclusive of 3 U.S.C. §§ 5, 7), the trial court allowed only two days to discover and inspect the ballots in a presidential-electors race in which over three million votes were cast?
