A question for lawyers and Constitutional experts on DU. [View all]

I am beyond outraged by the revelations that the Russians manipulated our elections, by the seeming refusal of Republicans in Congress to take it seriously, and by the–so far–limp response of Democrats. It seems to me that this should call into question the legitimacy of Trump's victory in the Electoral College. This is unprecedented foreign interference in our elections, as far as I know. This would be bad in any election, but given what we are facing with a Trump presidency, it is nothing short of disastrous.

But as a practical matter, what can we do? I would like to hear about any legal actions that are possible to overturn the election in light of these revelations. I am all for protest marches, but those alone won't have any legal force.
