Ok, it's 100% true, and everyone acknowledges it. What existing mechanism would you suggest we use to overturn the election?
IIRC this is the biggest issue with any "stolen election", we have zero legal remedy for the situation. Once the electors votes have been recorded in Congress, kinda a done deal until the swearing in and then it's concrete. It would take impeachment and conviction to remove the president, then the VP would take over, so they would also have to be impeached, then on down the line. There is no lever labeled "Pull In Case of Fuckery", which maybe should be at/near the top of the list should we ever escape MrToads Wild Ride.
Congress has the authority to handle disputes involving electors including rejection of state electors, but the uphill battle would be a headache. State and federal prosecutors can file suits as well. honestly, i am less certain about the legal side of things because it's all corrupt and controlled, and more sure that the response of the people would be altering for the nation. i would imagine if this was widely acknowledged and accepted as true then it would add to the building of the coming revolution. the people will have had enough at some point. i don't know why it hasn't happened yet, but historically it does.
Fucking beauracracy...tee hee
