From my understanding, you'd be wrong on your assessment. The entirety of these lawsuits is to have the possibility of multiple outcomes. Either invalidate votes passed election night due to unconstitutional oversight and ballots not being treated equally. to whom of which, Trump wins.

Or the elections of each state be invalidated due to the same aforementioned reasons, if so, the appointed number of electors stay the the same in regards to the election but the alleged or assigned votes would presumably drop below the 270 threshold which doesnt change the majority as the electors are still appointed and intact. This drops both candidates below the 270 threshold for a majority. This then goes to a contested convention which is then moved to the House of Representatives State Delegation votes to whom of which, Republicans control 26 to 24.

This is the last constitutional stand Trump has before nuclear option of the Insurrection Act.

Some states have laws against faithless electors and as of last election, i believe there were a total of 6 faithless electors. I believe Trump gained a few and Hillary lost some as well. The pledges, if gone against can come with legal ramifications. But yes, ideally if q state has 4 electors, their duty is to vote for the candidate that had won their states majority, that is their civic duty as the elector.

Time will tell, deadlines coming soon. Shut will be hitting the fan either way with decisions.

SCOTUS won't invalidate votes and won't invalidate a state's election. That's wishful thinking. No way in hell they can tell a state "you've been naughty so I guess you don't get to vote now lol".

If it goes well for us, SCOTUS will tell the state legislatures to decide, in light of the irregularities in the elections.

So the state legislatures of the 4 states in question will enter into a debate and will produce either Biden electors or Trump electors. Depends on how many RINOs we have and how much pressure we put on them.

But there's no way you're just going to "remove" a state from the equation.
