The constitution delegates the power to select electors to the state legislatures (which would include the voting process for that state). The PA legislature never approved the expanded mail-in voting that PA used for this election

No it doesn’t. Idk why this low level shit is getting passed around so much. The state appoints electors, not the legislature, the legislature gets to choose the manner in which that happens. They chose to do it by popular vote and they had to direct that manner by nov 3, the date congress set for the election. Legislature does not get to change it after the fact, at least not untill unless scotus rules on the constitutional clauses stoping them.

The Legislature can decide the electors at the last minute if it so chooses and can absolutely go against popular vote. One good cause would be the discovery of massive fraud, but a more likely cause would be the discovery that the winning candidate was unfit for office (such as having secretly been born outside the U.S. or only being 30 years old).
