You just said that “the legislature” has the authority to commit fraud. Power equals authority?

And for a general election that elects the members of the federal government, particularly the President, once the certificates (and “certificates”) end up at the federal government, that puts it in the federal government’s lap.

Do yourself a favor and look up “Bleeding Kansas”.

You've just presented Nancy Pelosi's argument for giving the Federal government the authority to run every election in the U.S. That's just B.S.

Under the U.S. Constitution, the only date that mattered in the 2020 presidential election was December 14th. That was the date established by Congress under Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 ("... which Day shall be the same throughout the United States") for the 2020 presidential election. Each state was required to have its electors certified by that date. How they identified the electors was a matter to be determined by the state legislature, and nobody else.

If a state legislature in a state where the legislature already knew the election process was illegal didn't take action before December 14th to correct the fiasco, then the illegal election results would stand. There's simply no getting around that.
