Yes, hypothetically, that is a risk. But there are risks to any solution...


Based on the in-force solution, Dems usurped legislative power in 2020 to void and rewrite election law all over the place to help Dems get elected. First off, that don't play. Second, shouldn't the legislature have some power in the process to recoup its EXCLUSIVE lawmaking authority? (Since I know you dispute my characterization of 2020, instead just apply a hypothetical situation where something like that happened. Using DeSantis, just assume he removed by executive fiat all voting machines from 20 Democratic precincts three days before the election.)

Trust me, I hate this stuff. It's all risky, and this legislative solution, such as it is, is a nuclear option that should only be used as a last resort. While I thought Trump was potentially robbed in 2020, I'm glad that he wasn't reinstalled in office using such means -- that would have been too terrible to contemplate. The REAL solution is to follow the duly passed election laws on the books, but if that doesn't happen, then what?

There is little doubt in my mind that the first abuse of this legislative power will be by the Democrats doing something exactly like you described, but what is the alternative? We can't have another 2020, so how do we remedy it?
