Plenary powers exist between the states' legislatures and Congress to deal with election law and politics. That excludes the Executive and Judicial branches of government, by design. That's why the way to remove an elected officeholder is thru a quo warranto (by what authority) court action. The officeholder has to show the authority behind an action they took. The court setting allows evidence to be presented and a finding of fact. I can understand the Fed setting would allow the decision to be binding in all states. But elections are about politics, not law, so courts have no power of resolution. That is left to Congress.
If an election was held according to election law in the state at the time (and necessary referendum was done), then the election was lawful, and conferred the state's authority of the office to the officeholder. Winner - officeholder.
But Wait! The Referendum required by the State's Constitution was not held, even though passed by legislature and signed by governor? Winner - challenger,
and a thankful nation has its first UNLAWFUL 2020 election.
IANAL - I am not a lawyer
But Bidet & the democraps had the perfect right to stuff the ballot box with bogus votes, is that what you're saying panty pence?
If an election was held according to election law in the state
Many states illegal altered the law to fit the democrats agenda and people who didn’t have the authority to do so
It appears laws now are open to the highest bidder.
