Wasn't the left banking on the electors themselves to flip? We're talking about something else entirely. The state legislatures decide which electors to send. So there's nothing stopping a state legislature from a stolen state to say "fuck you Joe" and send Trump electors to the electoral college. Granted it depends on how the state constitution says they're supposed to pick electors (I think in PA it's based on the popular vote) Also I'm not particularly banking on this because even though the legislatures in the swing states are Republican it would take a level of cajones to do that I don't think Republicans are capable of having.
I suppose you’re correct: it’s a bit different because we know for a fact that some of the states have been stolen, rather than just “oh shock, bad man orange pls vote Crooked.”
However I agree that I don’t expect the legislatures to just go ahead and do it- I suppose my opinion is that if it’s the right thing for the electors to vote Trump they’ll be able to prove that he won the states in court. It’s not about optics, but It would be nice to have legal rulings to rely on

I believe the legislature can just change the rules around how they choose the electors before doing so.
