The ruling elites have removed citizens from counting the votes, or even meaningfully witnessing the vote count. According to SCOTUS, the citizens, or even other states have no standing to object to a fraudulent vote tabulation or canvass. Audits must be ordered by the legislature. The AZ audit is the model for all that follow. Fractional checks on the cheap don’t do the job and shouldn’t be called audits, just more propaganda. People must demand 100% of ballots audited, or else its just a waste of tax dollars.
In a sense, that ability of the legislature to appoint electors can override the will of the majority.
That ability definitely does not justify fraud, breaking state (or federal) election process laws, exceeding of authority by other members of government, suppression of observers, and so on.
And I doubt that ability even justifies the legislature (or any other part of the government) keeping the people from knowing the true results, because that seems to me to fall under the umbrella of “government by the people and for the people”; it probably also relates to free speech.
