I know Swing States are sending 2 sets of electors. Which ones?
What does this mean as the process moves forward?
Please help me be excited like everyone else...
PA and NV. I've heard from some that GA has also, but have not found any sources for this yet.
Having a contested state with two slates of electors means, ultimately, Pence will have the final say on those contested votes. This is disputed by some, but based on the language and president set by similar events in the past, it is more than likely this will be the case. Essentially contested states will go to Trump.
If GA has indeed done the same, the election is essentially over. Trump won.
That is my understanding. If a 51% majority of state legislatures appoint their own electors (as is their constitutional right to do) to cast votes, and the governor-certified popular electoral votes are also cast, the state is contested.

You are a gentleman and a Scholar. What is the criteria for a contested state? Is it simply 2 sets of electors, or is it more complex?

Wisconsin did as well.
Whoohoo!!!!
Let me get this straight... so we have Pa, Nv, Wi.
Hopefully Mi & Ga, but nothing yet?
Can the “contested” status be removed prior to Pence making a decision?
Did we get Michigan or Georgia?
