Show me the law that authorizes the SOS to change election requirements. The US Constitution says only the State legislature has that authority.
The legislature says that the electors are decided by popular vote. The SOS is tasked with enforcing that directive which is what they were doing.
Nothing the SOS did was illegal, it was all done with approval and guidance by the court system. If it were illegal, the courts would have said so, but the lawsuits attempting to dispute this have failed.
That is still be litigated, but a judge can't override the US Constitution.

If that is your claim, you would be overturning elections in pretty much every state.
If that's what the law requires, so be it. Unlike you, I care if the laws are followed. There's a reason 26 European countries have outlawed voting by mail and you commies want it expanded, it's easier to cheat.
.
So now you want to follow what Europeans are doing.
I do, stop mass mail voting, require proof of citizenship to register and require ID for any form of voting. Would those be bad things?
.
Don't you have to do those things now, I do every time I vote.
Are you saying you provided proof of citizenship when you registered?
.
I provided a birth certificate to Oregon DMV who then auto-registered me.
Your claims that non-citizens vote is Pants on Fire material.
Damn, you keep proving your ignorance. Here's one example, there are many more.
US Attorney Matthew GT Martin announced charges against 19 North Carolina residents for voting as non-citizens, based on a years-long investigation by the Homeland Security Investigations Office in Raleigh. Three of the defendants — a 65-year-old woman from Mexico, a 52-year-old man from Costa Rica and a 57-year-old man from Tobago — live in Winston-Salem.
The 19 defendants, from 16 countries spanning the world from Latin America to Asia and residing in dozens of counties across the North Carolina central Piedmont, are all accused of voting in the 2016 election as non-citizens, which carries a maximum sentence of up to a year in prison. Others are also charged with making false statements on voter registration applications and making false statements about their immigration status.
Six days before Trump's campaign stop in Winston-Salem, DOJ drops fraud charges on North Carolina non-citizens voters.

Wow, you found and convicted NINETEEN? That's bigly YUUUUUGE man. Good for you. 99.999% of illegals wouldn't dare attempt to vote. It would mean immediate deportation if they are caught, and they are caught MOST of the time.
Can noncitizens vote in U.S. elections?
Whether voting by mail or in-person, registrants voting in a federal election supply evidence of their residence, a signature or another form of verification when submitting a ballot, according to Robert Brandon, founder of the Fair Elections Center.
"The handful of times when people try to do something, they're caught and they’re indicted. ... It’s only a handful of individuals and that’s not going to change an election," Brandon
told USA TODAY about voter fraud.
Agresti argues some noncitizens manage to vote in federal elections despite preventive measures. But allegations of voter fraud by noncitizens tend to be "exaggerated or unfounded," according to a 2007
report by the Brennan Center for Justice, a center-left institute. Few people purposefully register to vote if they are knowingly ineligible.
"Given that the penalty (not only criminal prosecution, but deportation) is so severe, and the payoff (one incremental vote) is so minimal for any individual voter, it makes sense that extremely few non-citizens would attempt to vote, knowing that doing so is illegal," the Brennan Center observed.
A possible count of noncitizen voter turnout relies on census estimates, not registration data. The claim is unproven and missing context.
