"Electors cast their ballots in state capitals on December 6, 1876. Generally, the process went smoothly but in four capitals—Salem, Oregon; Columbia, South Carolina; Tallahassee, Florida; and New Orleans, Louisiana—two sets of conflicting electors met and voted so that the US Congress received two sets of conflicting electoral votes."

We have this situation currently. Two sets of conflicting electors from multiple states.

They weren’t “legally real” in 1876 and the VP (Senate president) was able to do whatever he wanted

This is incorrect. Are you confused with 1960?
