> Upholding which law? The Constitution gives
> state legislatures
Didn’t Pennsylvania violate its own constitution on how to run an election? And then, when the (GOP) legislature wanted to step in, didn’t the state governor refuse to allow them to convene? (Or am I mixing up states in my mind? Very possible)
I’m far from opposed to the state legislatures from operating according to the constitution, but it seems like they may have been prevented from doing so...or am I mistaken?
OK, so maybe I myself as a citizen have no direct right to vote. BUT it seems like another state should still require that another state act in accordance with, and consistent their own constitution - at least when it comes to a national election election. Other states and their citizens can be harmed when a state or group of states fails to uphold their own laws.
I do wish for the current electoral college to remain; it seems to be the fairest way (in spite of its quirks) to ensure equity.
You are correct to a degree. Except even the state legislature when it decided to allow mail in voting in 2019 broke the rules as it went against their state constitution. They needed to change their constitution which had the voting rules in it; which requires a 2/3 vote, then a vote/referendum put to the voters, etc.
So the legislature broke the rules, and then the state court added all of the other changes which also broke the rules.
