That being the case, why is it that the state’s executive branch certifies whether the electors were chosen legally?

In my particular state, the legislature gave the executive branch a wide range of oversight authority and powers to do exactly that.

That’s why I said from the start (September-November 2020) that the legislatures in all the contested states should have convened and set their own clear ground rules to deal with the overreach (as I saw it) of their executive branch officials.

I agree, the state legislatures in the fraud states are the ones who dropped the ball.

But I think the SC was wrong to toss out the Texas lawsuit on lack of standing. Since they declined to hear the case, there is no formal ruling or dissenting opinion, but it is noteworthy that Justices Thomas and Alito both said they wanted to hear the case.

In my opinion, those two Justices have by far the deepest and strictest understanding of the Constitution, which tells me there were solid Constitutional arguments in Paxton’s favor. I would have liked to hear them.

Unfortunately, they were overruled.
