Question:

East Dakota has decided to allow its citizens to vote over the Web in the presidential election, if they so desire. Thirty percent of the eligible voters choose to cast their ballots over the Web. The national election is so closely contested that whoever wins the electoral votes of East Dakota will be the next president. After the election, state elections officials report the vote tally and declare candidate X to be the winner. Two weeks after the inauguration of President X, state officials uncover evidence of massive electoral fraud. Some voters were tricked into connecting to a phony voting site. The organization running the phony site used the credentials provided by the duped voters to connect to the actual voting site and cast a vote for candidate X. State officials conclude the electoral fraud may have changed the outcome of the election, but they cannot say for sure. They have no evidence that candidate X knew anything about this scheme to increase his vote tally. Divide the class into groups representing President X, the other presidential candidates, citizens of East Dakota, and citizens of other states to discuss the proper response to this revelation. For guidance, consult Article II, Section 1, along with Amendment XII, of the United States Constitution.
