If neither candidate has a majority of the electoral college, the 12th Amendment directs the election to the House of Representatives to vote by state delegation. The amount of Constitutional law illiteracy about our Presidential election is really quite astounding. #TexasLawSuit - The Donald

I think you’re missing the nuisance between appointed electors and electors states send. You are saying states “appoint” electors when they send them to vote. Majority of “appointed” refers to the amount of electors that are assigned (read: appointed) to the states. Whether the states sends the electors or not doesn’t change total of assigned (read: appointed) electors. And SCOTUS wouldn’t change it as it is clearly defined.
