In doing so, Arizona became the fourth swing state casting procedural ballots for Trump while the states continue to be contested.
The Arizona GOP said in a statement that “as the legal proceedings arising from the November 3 presidential election continue to work their way through our nation’s judicial system, the Arizona Republicans who pledged to choose President Trump and Vice President Pence in the Electoral College convened on December 14 to cast their votes and send them to Congress where they are to be opened and counted beginning on January 6.”
“Of course, there is precedent for our Republican electors meeting on December 14, even as the Democrat electors for Arizona also meet elsewhere,” the statement continued. “Democrat electors pledged to John F. Kennedy convened in Hawaii in 1960, at the same time as Republican electors met, even though the Governor had certified Richard Nixon as the winner. In the end, Hawaii’s electoral votes were awarded to President Kennedy, even though he did not win the state until 11 days after the electors cast their votes.”
Here’s how I see it since the swing states now have DUELING SLATE of ELECTORS:
The Electoral Count Act (ECA) of 1887 says each chamber of Congress will separately decide which slate of ‘dueling electors’ to accept.
The new congress that will be sworn in on January 3 will be the ones doing the count.
The Senate would vote for the Vice President. Republicans currently hold the Senate.
The House of Representatives would choose the President however it is not one vote per lawmaker like it is in the senate.
The House in each state gets one vote and with the new Congress, Republicans will have the advantage with 27 of the state delegations – a candidate needs 26 votes to win the White House.
If the two chambers disagree, we could end up in uncharted territory, though experts typically say that electors approved by each state’s “executive” should prevail.
So tired of the over hype from GP, I don’t take anything they print seriously.
Isn’t the whole exercise by these states moot with this news? :

ELECTORAL COLLEGE HANDS WHITE HOUSE TO BIDEN.
Big deal. This doesn’t change the outcome of the election,
sucks, this is over
See election of 1960 Kennedy vs Nixon and Hawaii’s electors.
Alternate set of electors have been chosen in the states where there is noteable fraud. This gives Trump a trump card if in Jan when they open the votes and count them and in the mean time legitimate fraud can be discovered and proven whereas enough doubt is in front of the American public to make a difference the other slate of electors can be chosen.
Nope.
Biden is just a common thief, having stolen the election with fraud, Dominion machines, dead people voting, blank ballots stamped by machine a perfect circle to mark vote for Biden, illegals voting, kids voting, preventing legal observers during verifying signatures, throwing observer out and keep counting signatureless paper ballots, ballots being delivered by truckloads without proper policing, on and on.
Anyone who accepts Biden as a legitimate president is a crook himself.
This is not over. We are in fairly uncharted waters, but it is not the doing of the Right. Look at the tactics the Left has used since Trump came on the scene. Lies, character assassination, crime, and more lies. They hate Trump because he beat HRC and have built up each other to hate even more.
No, they went to Biden. I did see this link about fake votes:

Joe ......speak for yourself and go elsewhere
I like their breaking news!
RE: Nope
Can you elaborate instead of simply giving us a one word answer?
What the hell does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Who on FR doesn't agree with or know that? Is this solely the reason Biden will not be inaugurated? Hopefully you something more substantial.
Holy crap, does that mean we could end up with Trump as POTUS and Heels as VPOTUS?? If so, he’s gonna need a food taster.
There’s clearly no reason to take anything they say seriously.
Does anyone know the vote totals reported by the seven alternate Republican Slates
How could a post just say electoral college hands election to Biden and that be the final word? The reason why alternate electors were picked was because the seven states were dubious
