"... but it is absolutely clear and equivocal that all presidential electors must be chosen on the same day."

Clear and equivocal??

What does that mean? Equivocal means unclear and doubtful.

Are you confused? And have you actually read it??

There is NO such 'same day' requirement. Post the amendment that you believe addresses 'same day' requirement in choosing electors.

Doesn't exists. A States legislature has plenary power in appointing electors. And they can appoint them, nullify them and replace them all the way up to the day they are counted in joint session of congress by the VP.

Article II Sec 1 clause 2

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.

Read the entirety of that section:

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
