In the Florida fiasco four years ago, the Florida legislature almost had to send Congress its own set of electors chosen by teh Legislature. Only the Supreme Court stepping in to stop the Florida court from rewriting the law any more saved the people's elected electors.

Exactly. This however, would only be permitted if the Fla law had allowed them to do this under the circumstances.

In Mass this year, the legislator enacted a law requiring that the Mass House approve any replacement to the Senate by the Governor, this is constitutional under Article one.
