Yes, that's how it SHOULD be, but only IF the States are providing honest elections.
US Constitution, Article IV, Section 4
It is the Federal government's RESPONSIBILITY, clearly spelled out in the Section above, to ensure that every State has a "Republican Form of Government"
Fraudulent elections mean the "supreme power" in the affected State is NOT held by the people and their (actually and honestly) elected representatives.
Thus, the Constitution clearly overrides State authority when voter fraud becomes an issue.
And audits should be done after every election.
