heard this theory that if a state doesn't have a valid election, current state government can just declare a vote for president as they see fit? I am not well versed on how states actually cast their votes...
The Constitution gives no requirements for how states choose their electors. So for example, it would be a douche move (but perfectly legal) for Wisconsin to pass a law saying that there’s no election, we’re picking electors based on how much beer bread and cheese they can handle.
If it comes up, we’d have to look at the state’s specific laws around the topic to see what happens

that's unfortunate.
I heard California repealed (or is repealing) their Civil Rights legislature prohibiting discrimination based on all the protected classes

New Jersey and New York have been quite draconian in their Covid response measures.
if they get to pull crap like that, they can probably do whatever the fuck they want with their state's votes if they can muddle the election.
It’s on the ballot. California has a democratic constitution. That means all amendments have to be approved by voters.
California voters are majority idiots. Source: I'm stuck in this insane state for the time being.
We can't afford to just " see what happens" when they have the house. I appreciate your rosy outlook on the situation however.
