POTUS is a Federal Election, and Federal Laws should be applied. 

OK, I am out of my element on this one, I don't know where it belongs; I also feel whether it should have been in a federal court instead is not the important issue at hand.

OK, I need to be educated on that one. I know about singular rogue electors that didn't vote the way that was demanded of them, and yes that is bizarre enough (and yet one more sign of how outdated and prone to betrayal the whole election system is). But, and that is just the way I understood it, they were just individuals trying to be smart, but never were part of a grand orchestrated scheme where a whole bunch of alternate electors was selected to obscure the results. If my take is correct and it was "just" things like that, then these instances don't really compare well.

Yeah it just seems both sides have no interest in that, which imho makes the system not so great.
