No. Instead they're gonna have state legislature throw out the results of the election. Which they can probably do, Constitutionally-speaking.
The State legislature pick the electors. Just because they all use a popular vote to do it doesn't mean they can't change the law in between the voting in November and the actual election in December.
Ha, I've answered that two or three times to other people here!
I agree that changing or interpreting the law to pick stricty conservative electors is their next strategy， but I don't think it's going to be as simple or successful as they imagine.
Sort of like how they didn't realize sending in forged documents was very likely to fail.
Forged documents are illegal. Changing laws regarding how electors are selected isn't.
Heck - way back in 2000 the Supreme Court hinted at the tactic in the majority opinion in Bush v Gore, saying that the Florida legislature probably could have just selected electors directly after the vote.
Actually, a lot of the fake electors tried to use the defense that there's no specific law against fake elector documents.
Colorado just signed a law that says fake electors are illegal.
