Suddenly, based on their own suspicions and in violation of the law, the legislature says they are going to appoint their own slate of electors. How long do you think it will take for the courts to throw that slate out?

I would hope the answer is never.

I would hope the court would say that this very scenario is spelled out in US Code Title 3 Chapter 1 §15 and would step back and let Congress sort it out according to established federal law.

A guy I work with is fond of saying "Hope is not a strategy". It's one thing if a court ruled that vote fraud was so massive as to throw the whole election into question. It's quite another for the Republicans in the legislature to decide that on their own. No court is going to sit back and allow the legislature to ignore the law in place at the election and appoint their own electors.
