I meant "overturned" to mean not legal. There would of course be a pretense of legality, but it would be vanishingly thin....

As far as the election "overturned" if done in a legal way sure, but then that is trumps last term.
If #DiaperDon could overthrow the results of this election do you honestly think he would stop with just one more term?

Per Google: (https://www.google.com/search?source...ile-gws-wiz-hp)

"Overturn ...

Similar: cancel, reverse, rescind, repeal, revoke,retract, countermand, withdraw, take back, rule against, disallow, override,overrule, veto, set aside, quash, overthrow, repudiate, recant, annul, nullify, declare null and void, invalidate, negate, void, abrogate, vacate, recall."

'Not legal', i.e. illegal, is MIA.

All those words denote an exercise of power to get rid of something. The essence is the power and the getting rid of. Each has its connotations and nuances, but that's the common theme. The power may or may not be exercised with full legal authority, that depends on context. Some of the words imply legal authority more than others.

I did not say that Waggs was wrong to interpret 'overturn' as he did. I just clarified what I meant.
