Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED A. Do presidential electors have standing to challenge the outcome of a presidential election for fraud and illegality that cause the defeat of their candidate? B. Are the Petitioners’ claims barred by laches? C. Do federal courts have and should they exercise jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 over claims by presidential electors that the presidential election was stolen from them by fraud and illegality under color law in violation of their constitutional rights under the Elections and Electors, Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the U.S. Constitution? D. Is a claim by presidential electors to de-certify the results of a presidential election and enjoin voting in the electoral college by the rival slate of electors barred by laches when it is brought within the state law statute of limitations for post-certification election contests, and before the post recount re-certification? E. Do the remedial powers of a federal court under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and § 1988 include invalidation of an unconstitutionally conducted election, and an injunction against presidential electors appointed in such an election from voting in the Electoral College? 4
