This isnt the last election. The scenario where activist radicals in state government can deny a rightful winner the state's electoral votes and throw it to the House is bad enough - but in theory Democrats could have a majority of delegations at some point, or at least deny the GOP that majority.

But if it literally just means the state doesnt get counted then there is no stopping that.
So sure, in this particular election the situation is likely not that dire because the only swing state right now where the GOP has the ability to really do unilateral damage. But thats not a guarantee in the future - all of the swing states at the federal level are also swing states at the state level that could give up control to the GOP after one bad midterm (i.e. imagine we get the long called for recession in 2025 after a Harris win.)
