So I interpret your post to mean that according to the constitution all the electors must cast their votes today, but since there are multiple slates casting, the conflict has to be resolved at the congressional level. But any states that want to send competing electors must do so today. And you are saying that which slate of the two is the official slate, is not up to the SOS or Gov to decide.

Did I get that right?

If so, do the legislatures need to weigh in at all at this point? Do they still have a role?

This is fake news. The electors voted for Biden and those are the votes going to the senate. No other elector votes are being sent to the senate.
Way to many people on this site have been falling for this fake crap since the election.

Yes. It’s up to the state legislatures to say if the second slate is valid. Once any pending litigation is resolved they may choose one slate over the other, or do nothing and leave the certification as it stands. But, again, any official not part of the state legislature is performing a ceremonial function.
