I am still of the idea, apparently considered quaint but obsolete by Republicans, that the election winner should be elected, not just the Republican every time regardless of voting.
Well I'm not a lawyer and certainly not the best to consult on exactly what the legal argument would be, but I would guess that the legislature would appeal directly to their federal Constitutional role in choosing electors as all the justification they needed for choosing to select alternates. A given would probably be a time based argument as well like we saw in 2000, where they said since it was tied up in court they were acting to make sure the state had electors seated and was not disenfranchised at the EC vote.
As I thought. The state legislature has NO authority whatsoever, to change the way electors are chosen once the polls are closed. They are unable to change any votes, or any rules governing how votes are counted afterward.

While I would agree with that legal argument and hope that would hold, as I said before this argument did not stop the Florida legislature from trying it in 2000 once the dispute had gone on long enough.
They have to be able to actually see the ballots. Are you really this thick?
They can. You're still being had by Trump disinformation. R and D lawyers are capable of challenging any ballots they feel are inadequate or should not count. This has always been the case in every election. This election was no different.

And the videos of Republican challengers being held behind glass windows 10-20 feet away from the people counting the ballots, and of people boarding over the windows with cardboard or posterboard, are all figments of your imagination, and never happened.

Nothing to see here, move along.
You're talking about the videos of the Trump "watchers" being kept further back. These people are Trump fans who think its cool to show up and scream at poll workers for some reason.
These people are not R lawyers that actually get to examine and challenge the ballots. Those people are acting with Trump's legal interests in mind.
Trump fooled you again by making additional demands on access for these lunatics.
