How do the courts get involved with elections under normal circumstamces? How does this change things? I don’t understand how it can change a state’s votes for a different candidate.

The Constitution states
> The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Based on this clause, the theory is that no other parties, like state or federal courts, or state executive branches, are able to overrule legislatures when it comes to elections.
