I think the ‘crisis’ end of this occurs around the end of November when Michigan and Pennsylvania say they can’t certify the election because everything is so screwed up, and can’t meet the 14 December deadline for the EC.

There are two possible Constitutional outcomes here that don't involve the courts:

1. The state legislatures step in and asserts its Article II Section 1 power and selects the Electors directly.
2. The states fail to appoint Electors and they don't participate in the Electoral College. The 12th amendment says that a majority of "appointed" electors is needed to win the Presidency. Pennsylvania's 20 Electors and Michigan's 16 Electors will be un-appointed, lowering the majority to win from 270 to 252.

There is nothing for a court to do. The Electors will either be there or not; the Electoral College will Constitutionally function with or without them.

Does the house have the ultimate say in this if there is a dispute? If it does, if I were the Trump campaign I’d ask for hand counted recounts in the mail in states, drag the process out until January and have the House decided the matter.
