They’ll point to the US Constitution’s remedy for this: the state legislatures. Will the state legislatures act on it?

I thought the Constitution's remedy was that it goes to the House with 1 vote for each state, and Trump wins since the Republicans have a majority.

First the state legislatures have to dispute their electors, then the House has to act.

That's never a guarantee with the Republicans ...

That's the last resort if there are not enough electoral votes to make the decision.

There is a question of which elector votes to accept. states can reject the results of thier own election, and Congress can reject the vote any state sends it.

States can send two slates of electors.

Congress can do the wrong thing. It usually does. The Courts have no reason to get in the middle of an election, even if the constitution has been violated. It's not their job, thankfully, to do the right thing. SCOTUS is a hallucinatory body. They imagine parts of the constitution that aren't there, and they can;t see parts of it that plainly are there. Failed institutions, all around.

The people would be well served to withdraw the constitution altogether. The current federal government craps all over it.
