Contesting a Presidential Election, & More from CRS
The procedures for challenging the outcome of a presidential election are summarized in a new publication from the Congressional Research Service.
“The initial responsibility for resolving challenges, recounts, and contests to the results of a presidential election” lies with each individual state, CRS noted. But under some circumstances, challenges to a presidential election can work their way up to Congress for resolution.
