Also AZ didn't use the State Police to block Republican electors from casting their votes.

My doubt about this alternate slate of electors is whether they've been really certified and if this can be useful in the handing out of the certification sheet to the congress. What I'm not understanding yet is in order to have an officially contested election, not only the republican legislature needed to send their own slate of electors (which they did) but they wouldn't have to certify the supposed winning electors (i.e. dems). How are they going to send it back to the legislature? What are we gonna do if the uncooperative courts continue to fuck with us and rejecting every evidence that the legal team brings to the table. I'm completely lost right now tbh

That's correct, but it also just confirms what the person you're responding to said: at the present moment, none of these alternative elector slates have been certified by any legislature, so they don't count as anything until that actually happens, as it did in your example.
