5. A petition. Maybe a lawsuit can change something if there is evidence.

But, we have not seen the evidence.

The best lawsuit may be an equal justice suit. One unrelated to election interference has flaws since proving election interference won't hold up in a court unless you prove voters did not have free will and reasoning power to choose a candidate. If voters don't know the difference between fake news and real news, or foreign propaganda and Republican propaganda, that isn't a viable case to bring. That's a "voters are too stupid" claim seeking a stupid voters solution.
