No. In 1877 the Supreme Court ruled that state legislatures have a plenary, nonjusticiable power to appoint electors.

Thank you for the information. So just to be clear, someone posted that for an example the Texas Governor has the final word in electoral disputes-that law is not constitutional? Appreciate your input in all these discussions.

Waht? I find that a little hard to believe. Texas has a weak governor. The Lieutenant Governor has more power than the Governor. Willing to be re-educated but smells fishy to me.

Based on my understanding of this subject, which is suspect, this could happen if it was written into the law by the legislature.
