The states enact their election laws. The FEC nor the DOJ existed at the founding. If the State legislature determines there was issues in a federal election, they have a right to audit and determine the outcome of a vote. Neither yes or no is the correct answer. We are a country of laws. Again, the states write the laws managing their own elections.<br /><br />When in doubt, the US Constitution. Article. II. Section. 1.

It is the State who certifies the election and declares the winner to begin with. Therefore they cannot &quot;overthrow&quot; their OWN results.<br /><br />I think you are trying to ask a different question, but intentionally using language to both obfuscate and hyperbolize what you are really asking.
