The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled more than once (most recently in Bush v. Gore) that each state legislature has exclusive and plenary power to choose its electors for the electoral college. They can designate a method, such as a popular election, but they can pull their power back at any time and just choose the electors themselves.
In this area, they are not bound by state statutes or constitutions, because the U.S. Constitution (Article II, section 1) gives them the power to choose the electors.
They just need to recognize that they have this power and be willing to use it.

Jenna Ellis was very clear about this when she spoke at the PA hearing. Not sure if she did to the AZ group, but I’d be surprised if she didn’t.
