if the controlling party of that state can without impunity overturn elections that they don't like and supersede the will of the people while installing their own party members who actually did not win.

Case in point - Missouri republican house overturned the will of the people concerning Medicare. Think about that. They overturned the majority on behalf of the minority.

That is not Democracy.
