I too love your enthusiasm btw:)

The constitution doesn't say state legislatures have the sole power to select electors. It says they have the sole power to set up a process as they see fit.

A key thing to note is, the power of State's Legislatures to set up a process to appoint (basically however they want); this power is always there in the timeframe. This would be like, if Big Guy Biden told his son Hunter to take the credit card to go get the laptops repaired, and Hunter drives off to spend the money to fill up his pipe instead; the Big Guy can be like NOPE and cut the money transaction off... it's always the BIg Guy's card, even if he's deligated it or set up a process to follow; he can always override at any point so long as the time(frame) is valid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Two_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Clause_2:_Method_of_choosing_electors

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

[Strict-Constitutional Redpill] The current State's Legislatures do the appointing of their State's Electors. Any "vote" in an election or any other process, is basically only advisory to the current State's Legislature. No election, No Governor, No past Legislature, No State Law, No Bill/Law, No Federal Law, No congress, No judge; can tell a current State's Legislature HOW to appoint.

So for instance, let's say a State Legislature says, to you and I, that we are the umpires/refs and are going to flip coins to see who to appoint as Electors, from a list of names until we fill up the number of Electors the State gets to send. If both our coins comes up heads, the person is selected, everything else, we skip and go to the next name on the list.

If we do our jobs as proscribed, and fill up a list of names in that mannor. We are done. We made a list of Electors for the State. But this list of names, and the "Constitutional lawful Power" of the State's Legislature; still exists for as long as the time(frame) set out by congress (as per):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Two_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Clause_4:_Election_day

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing [sic] the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

So what happens if we finish our list at noon; and then the State Legislature meets at 1pm and makes a new list using a different method, maybe a pie-eating contest. The State Legislature can override at anytime so long as the time(frame) is open; and by extension, the list we made can be formally recongnized by an afternoon meeting of the State's Legislature, as "the State's Electors" for this cycle.

Now what happens if you and I are flipping coins, but we still haven't worked out a list by midnight, as all many coins keep coming up tails. Well as per the lawful timeframe, whichever lawful mannor which the State's Legislature(s) chose to select, is what is in place when the sand runs out of the hourglass. So if we only have 5 names on our list, and there were 20 slots; well so be it; it's an incomplete list, and then follow the process with those 5 voting for POTUS/VP and tallying and signing and sending in their envelope to the joint session of congress to open with all the rest of the Nations envelopes.

The "Law" of the past Legislature, cannot override the current State Legislature; nothing can override the current State Legislature until the time runs out. The Time(frame) set by congress.

If 3 USC1 is legal, and if 3 USC 2 is unconstitutional, then that congressionally set timeframe was midnight on Election Day.

If 3 USC 2 is legal (at least for the next 2.5 weeks) then current State Legislatures can still go about appointing their State's Electors in whatever mannor they wish (so long as it's not itself unconstitutional or illegal, eg selling tickets/seats, death/cagematch, etc.).

No court, judge, law, executive officer, governor, clerk, coinflipper, software vendor, congress, legislature, etc. can tell the current State Legislature's HOW to appoint, and only congress can tell the current State Legislature's WHEN to appoint. The time(frame) WHEN can be argued over, because 3 USC2 includes a HOW, not just a WHEN, as per "muh democracy" in June 1948 a few months before November's 1948 post-midnight ballot stuffing for Truman beats Dewey rather than the headline of Dewey beats Truman; aka this is the crux of the midnight big Dem City late ballot stuffing to carry the "modern" era POTUS contests.

This is why my spam post, is the inescapable legal WIN&WIN, it doesn't give the judges/courts or opponents any wiggle room, not one inch. So they either find their spines and uphold the Constitution, or resign(/impeached) for nakedly Oathbreaking. All the lengthy things, get resolved separately from Electors, with lots of winning like cleaning out Dem majorities in CA, IL, NY in time for US Census redistricting this next session of State Houses & congress.

I'm still under very heavy communications blackout here on the Front Lines, nearly all my bandwidth I can get out/in I use here at TD. So any other pedes who can keep spreading the word is most appreciated and required. *hugs
