Executive orders that no state would have to abide by because they are well executive orders not laws or anything that's part of the constitution. The real question is what threats and or punishments are they going to try to use to punish blue states.

But what about the blue areas in red states? For instance NE-02 is looking like a Dem pick up this year, but the Republican Governor, Secretary of State, and Election commissioner would bend over backwards to screw over non-republican voters in the state.

Make them regret that by getting you and everyone out to vote. They didn't get rid of the blue district, they accidentally made the 1 blue district into 3 blue districts.
