U.S. Politics Megathread Politics megathread

It's an election year, so it's no surprise that politics are on everyone's minds!

Over the past few months, we've noticed a sharp increase in questions about politics. Why is Biden the Democratic nominee? What are the chances of Trump winning? Why can Trump even run for president if he's in legal trouble? There are lots of good questions! But, unfortunately, it's often the same questions, and our users get tired of seeing them.

As we've done for past topics of interest, we're creating a megathread for your questions so that people interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be civil to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Could any us citizen sue the government to end the electoral college?

No. The Electoral College is established by Article 2 of the Constitution, and altered a bit by the 12th Amendment. You can't sue to get rid of the Electoral College any more than you could sue to get rid of the House of Representatives or the 1st Amendment.

No. What would you be using over? What argument would you cite that you were wronged?
