The legislature doesn’t need the governor’s permission to get together and do whatever they need. In ordinary times, yes. This is part of the legislatures US Constitution mandate.

Exactly. Any requirement for the Governor’s permission for the state legislature to assemble is null and void when it comes to the legislature’s sole constitutional duty to determine the manner in which electors are chosen.

That is correct. There are 36, or so, states that can be called into special session WITHOUT the governors approval.

I think PA is one.
