3. And with regard to the state legislatures being able to choose election winners

So, say Joe Magat and several of his right wing compatriots lose their statehouse seats in an election.

Because they are the sitting members of the legislature at that moment, they can hold a session to invalidate the results and, AMAZING coincidence, not only were they not defeated, the ONLY people who won any election were the Republican candidates.

No, you can't see the numbers, but be assured, we know who won and who lost!

I guess we'll have to wait and see how craven they are, but I'm not holding my breath for any of them to have even the tiniest whisper of ethics.
