“G.O.P. lawmakers have also stripped secretaries of state of their power, asserted more control over state election boards,
made it easier to overturn election results, and pursued several partisan audits and inspections of 2020 results.
Republican state lawmakers have introduced at least 216 bills in 41 states to give legislatures more power over elections officials, according to
the States United Democracy Center, a new bipartisan organization that aims to protect democratic norms. Of those, 24 have been enacted into law across 14 states.”
In Georgia, Republicans are removing Democrats of color from local boards. In Arkansas, they have stripped election control from county authorities. And they are expanding their election power in many other states.

G.O.P. lawmakers in at least eight states controlled by the party are trying to gain broad influence over the mechanics of voting, in an effort that could further undermine the country’s democratic norms.

It appears this is where we are heading. Republicans are pushing laws to give the party in power the authority to overturn election results. Will Democrats now follow?
We all know Conservatives have no love for democracy, so their actions to nullify elections is no great surprise.
The question is this good for the Country? Should State governments have the right to nullify election results, (local, state or federal) to benefit the party in power?
