"The deadlines for the seating of electors and their voting, however, is not necessary for the
effective transition of power. As we have established these deadlines were created for the
convenience of travel, just as election day was placed uniformly on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November to allow farmers to complete the fall harvest prior to voting. In other
words, these dates have nothing to do with the transition of power and are largely not relevant
to a time when electors do not have to ride horses to Washington, D.C. to vote. Accordingly,
these dates should not interfere with state legislatures effectively investigating the management
of the election, especially when we experience unprecedented manipulation of election rules
calling into question hundreds of thousands of ballots. We have, and must have, time to get it
right.
The Constitution explicitly assigns the power to appoint presidential Electors to the legislatures
of the various states. Those state legislatures have established laws governing the conduct of
elections and awarding presidential Electors according to the results of the popular vote. The
“safe harbor” provision established by federal statute sets a deadline for determining Electors
according to the laws in place for that purpose in each state.
Because the laws governing the conduct of elections were flagrantly violated in numerous states
during the 2020 presidential election, there can be no determination of presidential Electors
pursuant to state law. As such, the Constitution makes clear that the responsibility rests with
state legislatures to appoint Electors. This should be done as expeditiously as possible, but the
only deadline state lawmakers have an obligation to meet is the one deadline set forth in the
Constitution — noon on January 20, 2021."
The safe harbor date doesn't mean shit, stop parroting that bullshit! https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1359230/Electoral_College_Deadlines_White_Paper.pdf?p=pdf
The only date that is acknowledged by the constitution is Jan 20th.

This is wrong. That was a federal statute passed in I believe the 1940's. It does not supercede the constitution. Did you read the white paper?
