The invasion of the Capitol on January 6 was undoubtedly one of the most unbecoming moments in U.S. political history. But was it more than the violent outburst of extremists? Did it also involve a plan to nullify a valid election and keep Trump in power by undemocratic means?
Yes, there was a plan to overturn the election. But I think the only other comparable case was not 1876, but 2000 when the Supreme Court stepped in to elect Bush (who lost the popular vote) by a vote of 5-4.
