There were alternate slates
Please stop posting this verifiably false B.S. You make intelligent FR veterans look like morons (by association) when you post that crap here.
There wasn’t a single state that sent “alternate slates” of electors to Congress in 2020.

“That day, in several states that Biden had won, Republicans met to sign certificates declaring that they were the “duly elected and qualified” members of the Electoral College”
Sorry, a State Legislature as a whole has to meet in formal session and approve a slate of electors. The U.S. Constitution says very clearly that the State Legislatures control the selecton of electors. As mentioned by others, there wasn’t a single state legislature that met and approved a second set of electors or recalled a electoral ballots.
1. That's true. It was done for a specific reason. There were still ongoing legal challenges to the election results in those states. If the Trump campaign won a legal challenge in Pennsylvania (for example) and a state court determined that he won the popular vote on Election Day over Joe Biden, Biden still would have won the state's electoral votes if the Republicans hadn't cast those "conditional" electoral votes on December 14th. That's because the U.S. Constitution clearly says that every state must certify its electors on the same day.
2. None of those electors were ever certified in their respective states and transmitted under seal to the President of the Senate, as required under the 12th Amendment.
Item #2 is critically important here. Without a second set of electors transmitted to Congress, the VP (or anyone else) would have no legal basis to reject the first one.
