Their actions may or may not be against the law. Have you checked the statutes to see if that fits or if it's even on the books?

No, but if politicians stopping elections from proceeding isn't illegal then at that point, I feel, we would need to act outside of the law. Politicians cannot hold election results hostage.

I agree with you in the broad sense that while it might not be criminally illegal, it certainly should be.

Yeah whether criminal charges COULD be levied I honestly don't know. But obviously we can't allow partisan politicians to decide what elections they want to count.
