"And, yet, it is not entirely impossible to make the contrary argument, especially if the state legislature acts to make its direct appointment of electors before the safe-harbor deadline of six days before Monday, December 14. This argument would depend, again, on the claim that the state legislature was responding to an emergency analogous to a cyberattack. Surely, if there were a cyberattack—this argument would go—a direct legislative appointment of electors would be entitled to safeharbor status if made within the requisite deadline, in order to avoid depriving the state of an opportunity to participate in the presidential election"
An event like a cyberattack is perfect justification for state legislatures overruling the popular vote in that state and simply picking their own electors.
Going to leave this Constitutional analysis right here:
