> Still, the bill includes a provision that could make overturning an election easier. Texas election law had stated that reversing the results of an election because of fraud accusations required proving that illicit votes had actually resulted in a wrongful victory. If the bill passes, the number of fraudulent votes required to do so would simply need to be equal to the winning vote differential; it would not matter for whom the fraudulent votes had been cast.

Wow, this establishes an incredibly perverse incentive. If a party believes that they will lose, they can engage in fraud in favor of the opposite party (e.g. burning boxes of ballots in safe districts), and spoil the vote. If the same party is already in power, it would appear that they could just keep playing this game, pardoning the offenders each time, and maintain control of the "interim" government indefinitely.
