Seems like that “no recounts” rule is probably gonna be challenged up to the Supreme Court (of the US, not MS), regardless of who technically wins the election

    How? States manage their elections, not the Fed?

    The same way any case gets to them. The loser sues and the civil case gets appealed repeatedly.

    I guess anything can get to the supreme court that way. The supreme court has been rejecting all election cases though

    Bush v Gore was a notable and shameful exception. They are ignoring Trump’s recent temper tantrum filings because he’s asking for way too much for even the crazy corrupt Alito and Thomas to abide. But don't kid yourself, they will forsake what few principles they have in a heartbeat if it suits them.

    Didn't that happen once already and it was decided that there wasn't enough time in the 2 months between the election and the candidate taking power without leaving the citizenry in uncertainty over who was elected?
