Should State Legislatures be allowed to overthrow election results and declare a winner?

I should have added this;

This power has been in many of the new voting laws passed, or being considered, in a number of states, including Arizona, Texas, and Georgia.

No, that is obvious. State Governments can sign on but they can't Veto.

The states in our Republic are sovereign and it's up to them to manage their own affairs to a point.

The Constitution gives the States the right to choose their own electors. The states enact their election laws. The FEC nor the DOJ existed at the founding. If the State legislature determines there was issues in a federal election, they have a right to audit and determine the outcome of a vote. Neither yes or no is the correct answer. We are a country of laws. Again, the states write the laws managing their own elections.

When in doubt, the US Constitution. Article. II. Section. 1.

And yet, the US House has that authority. The House can and has refused to seat a person who was legally elected by their State. The Democrats have already done it once before

As for the States you have listed, the laws require that an investigation be conducted when there appears to be impropriety by the county elections commission and if required, take charge of the office. This doesn't mean change a result. It means, follow the law

Nancy Pelosi called 'power-mongering witch' for claiming she has authority to unseat Congress...

But does Pelosi as the House Speaker have the right to unseat an elected member of Congress? This comes down to a 1969 ruling by the US Supreme Court

You are, it appears, refering to federal elextions, such as for senators, Congress critters, and mostly to President.

However your question is moot. It is the State who certifies the election and declares the winner to begin with. Therefore they cannot "overthrow" their OWN results.

I think you are trying to ask a different question, but intentionally using language to both obfuscate and hyperbolize what you are really asking.
