Artile 2 Section 1 paragraph 2 states: "Each state shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors..."

So, the Supreme Court would be deciding if the states have followed their own laws (made by their own Legislatures)
If the Legislatures did not make a law regarding the selection of electors (the general election) to change the day of such election (which must be uniform throughout ALL the states) then the Constitution is pretty clear.

I think people are getting the electoral college process with the general selection of electors process confused as well as well as confusing it with Article 1 Sec 4. and Sec 5.

The scenario of a tied electoral college is a whole 'nother ball game.

Well, that’s another interesting thing. If the general election must be uniform, then wouldn’t the mail in ballots, and early voting, be void, since not all states did them uniformly? What about absentee voting-is that also in question? So many questions...
