The State Legislature in all those states were Majority Republic. The rules that were set out were patently ignored. Arizona, Georgia "Republican" governors, which Trump endorsed. Trump complained about these mail in ballots 7 months before the election saying there would be massive fraud. Did nothing about it, except to try and get other people to do something about it, on his behalf, not saying they shouldn't have but we all know how that went. What executive orders did he sign, which were implemented? None. Martial Law, Insurrection? Nope. Said that BLM and ANTIFA were terrorist organizations, but they were totally allowed to run the election process in those states, nothing to see here. I could go on, but at this point, I'm going to be spending more time and effort on this than President Trump did.
You're not wrong. There was a detailed plan to use the EO to seize the voting machines, ballots and election materials in the 6 problematic counties and do a manual recount on air. The plan was hatched by Flynn and Powell but Trump never followed through. Your guess is as good as mine why not.
EO's can't be applied to force states to do what you want. Trump is federal. Elections are controlled by states. The federal government has no say in how they're conducted.
I understand why it's this way; it's to keep the federal government from interfering and rigging it their way. It's a good idea. On paper. But for the federal government to have no say in the way their own elections are done is kind of bullshit. The federal government should have some kind of oversight or say on the same level as the states. If we had that, we would have seen more progress.
But an EO wasn't going to do anything. You can't FORCE sovereign states to do things. For example; Biden's mask mandate only applies to federal buildings. His fracking ban only applies to federal land. He can't tell the states that they can't frack on private land or state owned land. What an EO CAN do is say 'we don't like this and if you keep it up, we're going to with hold federal funding to your state.' But what does that really do? It makes you look like a tyrant and you're purposefully hurting the citizens of that state to get what you want. Biden would do that, but Trump wouldn't. I think Trump cares too much about the people he is charged with protecting to do that.
That's Trump's fatal flaw. He cares too much about the people.
Really, the machine had decided Trump was not the president in November. His staff weren't supporting him, the bureaucracy wasn't listening to him, and his effective power was basically nothing. I don't think he expected basically everyone to stab him in the back, from RINOs in congress to his own VP and lawyers

Yeah, I dont know why he didnt take action either.
I have a feeling it’s not as simple as that.
