Could congress in regard to the election stealing

could they refuse to not count the election as legitimate because of how GA and other states are trying to block POC from voting? They can say that their votes will be thrown out because they changed the rules to disfranchise voters and they chose not to be in the Union and they are on their own,meaning no help from the government because they choose to ruin the union and declare their allegiance to one man as their idol and should refer to him as their leader and be no part of the union?

If we can't do anything about the HR1 or voting rights bill what else is there to do except do what they would have done. I want the Dems to come out swinging because we are already on the edge of not knowing how long we will have both houses with so many older in the senate .

Fight like they do or they will roll over us and we will not have a country because they changed the rules and out played us. I fear we are moving to slow and giving them a edge because they fight better and dirty they win while we just wait it out by law,which is why we lose. In your opinion,what can the Dems be doing to get through this mess? I fear Joe will change parties since he votes and are friends with a lot of the GOQ ,and it would work for him. I see no options for us and it seems like we are still fighting to win the majority,or feels like we are in the minority. .JMHO.

Not only does such power not exist... but:

You would literally be disenfranchising an entire state as punishment for hypothetically disenfranchising a few people. And...

GA has two Democratic senators that are the only reason the senate is 50/50.

running against vulnerable Republican senatorial candidates. The heavy hitters have to get behind this effort.
