The US constitution says the legislature gets to pick. The state legislatures put someone in charge of elections and told them to give the electors to the popular vote. Because of fraud the legislatures are picking for themselves but whomever normally does it also sent theirs.
I don't understand, but I'm going to throw in my guess...
If you notice that most of the court cases were thrown out for lack of standing, having the Republican legislators select an alternate set of electors may give the courts a concrete example of "damages", e.g. they lawyers can point to the electors and say "my client wanted to select XYZ as electors, but the fraudulent votes forced them to choose ABC as electors."
Not just Republican legislatures, state legislatures. US constitution article 2, paragraph 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...
This is plenary power, meaning it is absolute. While many states have delegated this by state law to the popular vote with the Gov and/or SOS certifying, they can take it back at any time. Article 2 overrides any state law or state constitution. In most of these swing states, republicans have a majority.
It appears the republican elector’s votes are not official but rather “procedural.” If the fraud is substantiated sufficiently by the time the EC votes are counted, then having the republican votes already there will provide the ability to use those in place of the previous official ones.
I guess if there’s no fraud or other reason to consider them, those EC votes would just be ignored and discarded.

You don't understand the first thing about politics, it appears.
Let me explain it to you.
Laws are not real.
Human actions are real.
You never have to obey the lies and frauds of commie scum seeking to tyrannize you. If you defy them, they are powerless. They require your consent.
Don't give it to them.
contested elections
put it this way, if they didn't, then when Trump is vindicated, no one to cast EC for Trump in that sate.
They are there if you need them.
No need to get worked up
