Trump's second term still needs legitimacy.
The much touted 'alternate slates' are backed by small minorities of the legislature from their respective states.
You can't hang your presidency on 20 guys out of 200 voting for you.
Pence needs to reject these states completely. If he can't do that, the cleaner option is to invoke Insurrection Act and go to war.
Picking minority backed electors, he will have no legitimacy at all. I doubt military will back him up than.
