Which is the exact arguement of 3 USC 2 being either unconstitutional or legal; either the Electors had to be appointed on Election Day as per 3 USC 1 OR the States can submit them late, which means Win or Win.
I was thinking the same thing. Bush v. Gore went to 3 recounts before Gore conceded on 12/13. The post makes sense logically, but SCOTUS would never say "welp, at midnight DJT was ahead, so that's that. see ya, bitches". They're going to rule on merits of the case put before them, which is probably going to amount to trying to define a "legal" ballot in a jurisdiction.
Nobody has Electors on Election Day because no Electors were appointed by then. Still no Electors have been appointed.
