race, both because of fraudulent activities. But a revote hasn’t been done in a presidential election.. In 2000, voters in Palm Beach County filed a lawsuit in Florida asking for a redo election, claiming that the layout of the ballot in that county led to voter confusion and mistaken votes. A judge ruled it was legally impossible to do a revote in Florida because federal law sets a uniform Election Day, and Florida had no procedure to account for controversies over election results.

A resolution would be needed before the Electoral College votes on the Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December, as federal law requires. On 9/11, the polls for the New York Democratic and Republican primaries had only been open less than three hours before the first plane struck the World Trade Center. The New York City Board of Elections asked a New York Supreme Court justice to postpone the primaries, and the governor hours later issued an executive order canceling primaries statewide. The election was rescheduled to happen two weeks later.
