The Constitution fails to describe how States are to conduct their elections for federal officers.
A group of states, for instance, could do something silly like hold an ‘election’ via mail-in ballots with no verification of citizenship, residency, etc.
So, you could have a corrupt party in charge of a handful of states take over the Presidency, Senate, and House. And, from that point, it’s a trivial matter to pass legislation ensuring that party’s perpetual power, whether it be through grants of amnesty to millions of non-citizens, or federal laws requiring a method of voting that favors the party, etc, etc.
But, these things could never actually happen, of course.
