States need to decertify their electoral votes. That’s it.

No, that requires the state legislatures to hold a session and vote on it. The 6th is most likely going to allow eye opening evidence to be presented. The house and the senate are not going to throw out electoral votes.

Have you found legal mechanisms for that?

I cannot find anything about decertifying votes or how it actually has to occur, does the governor have to agree as well?

The state legislatures have the sole power to assign electoral delegates. Not the Governor and not the Secretary of State

Article II, Section 1, 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.

Well yeah, but they did that, that is not the same as DECERTIFYING already accepted and certified votes.

The SCOTUS already ruled on the Safe Harbor law back during the bush run, decerts would run afoul of that.
