the Governors and Senators of these States in your hypothetical scheme by Republican legislators. That scheme can be extended to Governor and Senatorial candidates who enjoy winning the popular votes of their states and not subject to the will of a minority.
2014 is an election year. Many Governors and Senators also come up on the Ballots. I assume the Governors of Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Wisconsin should be facing an election soon. And wehen does the Michigan Governor face re-election? All those Governorships can turn Blue too. Governors have veto power, unless Legislatures can get enough votes to override them. So if they can't sneak their power grab through now, they may never sneak it through after the midterm turnover.
