No, I'm not real interested in the alternative facts the right keeps making up, and I still don't know why you want to jump to discussing biology, but I haven't understood right wing logic for a long time anyway.

Simple.

It's because we know that the basis of the entirety of your lefttarded (lack of) logic is deeply rooted in your ignorance and your denial of even the most basic of biological facts.

Here is one very big WTF from REPUBLICAN Sen John Cornyn.

"Number one, why would a state, even such a great state as Texas, have a say-so on how other states administer their elections?" Cornyn asked CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju. "We have a diffused and dispersed system, and even though we might not like it, they may think it's unfair, those (election policies) are decided at the state and local level and not at the national level."

...

With all due respect to Senator Cornyn, he ought to dust off his old St. Mary's Constitutional Law textbook from 40 years ago, and take a refresher course; here's a why -- in the Supreme Court's own words:

“Every voter” in a federal election “has a right under the Constitution to have his [or her] vote fairly counted, without its being distorted by fraudulently cast votes.” Anderson v. United States, 417 U.S. 211, 227 (1974).

To ensure “fair and honest” elections marked by “order, rather than chaos,” “there must be a substantial regulation of elections.” Storer v. Brown, 415 U.S. 724, 730 (1974). “[E] xperience shows” those “necessary” regulations include not just voting “procedure” but also “safeguards” for the “prevention of fraud and corrupt practices.” Smiley v. Holm, 285 U.S. 355, 366 (1932).

When state courts and executive branch officials violate the Electors Clause of the Constitution by circumventing the state legislatures, and change election procedures in such a way that it removes the legislatively enacted "procedures" and "safeguards," and subjects federal elections to disorder and fraud, it violates the Constitutional rights of all American citizens in every state.

State legislatures are not kings. The fact is that the Supreme Court has already thrown out one case. No state laws were violated.

I beg your pardon, but State legislatures most certainly are Kings of their own election laws. That is, if we're still following that old piece of parchment called the United States Constitution. Neither the state courts nor the state executive branch has any constitutional authority to deviate from the procedures enacted by the state legislature for federal elections.

And the Supreme Court has not in any way dismissed any of the 2020 election related cases on the merits, and has not found that no state laws were violated. So get a new talking point.
