Follow federal law. The timing is built into the Constitution, as is the states’ houses’ responsibility to supersede a fraudulent vote. But identifying illegitimate votes has more to do with state and federal laws than the US Constitution. Plus, the Covid edicts that sidestepped state constitutions will help show how the process in certain states sidestepped their own state law.

I believe it's mostly state constitutions. They define legal votes, so if a ballot doesn't meet the description, it is not a legal vote. So it's not as much about literally throwing them out as it is they aren't a vote at all.

That's how I understand it.

What case what vote? Most cases currently being brought by Lin Wood are from my understanding based on the fact that the legislature make election law/rules. That wasn't true in a lot of places and people that didn't have the power altered the process. That altering is what is now called into question. If found to be unconstitutional it could be stricken down and we would hope votes case in such manner be removed if the proper measures can no longer be made. Than the legislature would directly seat the electors of the electoral college. Correct anything wrong Pedes.

There would be no point in separating invalid votes from valid votes if the election was decided by the state legislature. If they remove the invalid votes, it must mean they plan to use the valid votes to elect a president by normal means.

Legislatures voting only happens if they decide the whole election is void, throwing out all legal AND illegal votes.

Electors must be appointed by the popular vote in that state. There are no faithless electors. The electors can't simply be appointed how the state legislature likes. It HAS to be by popular vote in the state. There is no discretion of the electors in the electoral college.

If the election is invalidated, there is no statewide popular vote, and the clock runs out, and the state legislatures decide the election with one vote per state. 29 red states, 21 blue states. Trump wins.

In 1876, President Rutherford B. Hayes was elected by US Constitution Article I, Section I, Para. 2. The courts have absolutely no say in this, nor does Congress or Governors. The Founders placed this in our supreme law as a “Break the Glass” moment, just exactly like now. This power rest with each State’s legislatures, and the choosing one elector to vote En Bloc. The Republicans hold 29 state legislatures.
