They could also appoint themselves, and the Governor, to lifetime positions as legislators and abolish elections for state office.
I’m not so certain about that. The US Constitution says that each state must have a Republican form of government. I don’t think the state legislators appointing themselves to lifetime terms would pass muster on those grounds.
On the other hand, the Florida legislature was considering appointing their own set of electors in the 2000 election if the courts did not rule in time.
