What I see is that the legislative branch of government is trying to subvert government itself. The Republicans want to change the laws to give the state legislature the power to override an electoral outcome on unproven allegations, but this is only good for them if the Repub’s stay in power. If they lose power to the Dem’s, then the Dem’s could use the same underhanded tactics to override an electoral outcome. Don’t they see the folly in this? Life is always a two-way street; you can’t have it only one way: your way.
