Agreed. That's why the supreme court's dismal of the Texas lawsuit based on the claim that the certification of other states didn't concern Texas was bullshit because it clearly did. Rand Paul's argument was that if the federal government had complete authority over the election results, that could potentially be more dangerous than allowing a few individual states to try to rig their own state elections.
Rand Paul was on the wrong side of the vote in this case but considering that almost every single one of the other people who voted against it gave completely bullshit "Trump incited an insurrection" reasons for their vote, and Rand Paul at least made the decision based on his libertarian principles, I don't think that it would be fair to put him in the same category of traitor as the rest of them.
