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.

No paradox. And it isn't the state constitutions that give the state legislatures "all" their authority.

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?

See the 10 amendment of the US Constitution, 10th amendment and 10 amendment yet again, to answer your questions.

The 10th says the states. I think that means in accordance with the constitutions that created those states.

Do you think differently?
