But it creates some paradoxes. For one, it elevates the legislatures to be superior to the state constitutions which created them and gave them all their authority in the first place.
What if the state constitution says all laws, including election laws, must be passed by the legislature and signed by the governor?
Is SCOTUS going to jump in and overrule the state’s constitution?
What if the constitution says presidential electors are to be chosen by popular vote and the legislature decides to choose them based on the vote of the state house?
I don’t see how they can give the legislatures the power to ignore their own constitutions, and I can’t imagine a single state would have ratified the US Constitution if they thought that would be the case.
I guess we’ll see.
The problem is activist Judges. Judges are the arbitrars of the application of the Constitutionality to which the legislature operate. Yet, you end up with activist judges who rule clearly against both the State Constitution and the legislatures laws. Voter ID is one such issue.
No paradox. And it isn't the state constitutions that give the state legislatures "all" their authority.

See the 10 amendment of the US Constitution, 10th amendment and 10 amendment yet again, to answer your questions.
I guess you can’t read the Constitution.? Do we have to read it to you like a child?
