Can someone point me to a website that might have some info on this:

Hypothetical situation, never happened before in terms of the Presidency, but just curious. If there's major voter fraud and it's not detected until after the President is sworn in -- enough votes that it would have let the other candidate win -- does anything happen to the "President?" Are they impeached and the opposing candidate sworn in? New election held? Anyone know?

Your sig is offensive. There's no need for profanity.

Send me your address and I will give you the answer. I just need to make sure my bill is sent somewhere a registered letter can be signed for.

Free legal advice and research…………silly foreigner, life doesn’t work that way.

Since the Electoral College is the one actually submitting votes for President, probably nothing would happen. The Electoral College does not have to vote for the candidate that won a particular state.
