We're in a sad state of affairs when we have to depend on this SCOTUS to defend our democracy, but I think that's where we are. If legislatures decertify elections, one would hope they would have to give cause and, if there is none, the action would be unconstitutional. Sadly, I am far from sanguine that the court would not fall back on state's rights and refuse to hear those cases.

I hate to say it, I'm afraid they will fall back on state's rights as well...which would have the potential to turn any and all elections into shams.
