Clause 2. Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress; but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The governor/sos have NOTHING to do with this process and any rules written by a state to say otherwise is superceded by the constitution.
Right,band at ANY time they deem it necessary that can change with zero input from governor/sos.
Whatever rules anyone thinks exist that give them any power in this process are not real. The legislature can take that control at any time.

I think the Constitution means exactly what it says.
This power is solely the legislatures.
