Makes sense. My understanding of the Constitution is that the power to select electors resides with the legislature. They’re being wise with how they do this.

Note that their plan is to introduce legislation.

Legislation in PA requires the governor's signature before it becomes law.

The Supreme Court has *repeatedly* ruled that references to the state "legislature" means the legislative process - including a governor's signature and judicial review. Further, the state constitution (created by the legislature) sets forth the process of creating new law and that requires a governor's signature. Even if you say the legislature is in charge, they already created the process for changing the law and it includes a governor's signature (or veto override). Anyone telling you that the legislature can do this without the governor (or at least without overriding a veto) is lying or uninformed.
