Two sets of electors were sent, but they were both certified by the Governor. It sounds like the second set of electors were certified after legal proceedings/recounts had finished (and well after the electors had voted), but were not certified initially.
I think the key thing is that those votes were certified whereas as yet the GOP electors from PA/MI/WI/NV/AZ/GA are not. Whether they will be by Jan 6 is up in the air right now, but until they are certified I don't think they matter.
It has to be the legislatures that name them.
Nope. See 1960 Hawaii. Similar circumstances

Good analysis but it doesn’t really matter. Pence has the sole authority to do as he pleases
Having the authority to do it and doing it aren't the same thing.
Huh!
