Yes. However, state legislatures are bound by state law to pick electors representing the will of the voters. I am not an expert of PA law, but I imagine state legislators have no discretion to examine whether fraud was committed in the election.

That is a decision for the judiciary.

Which is why it is critical that air-tight lawsuits be filed by competent counsel.

Let’s see what comes of the cases filed by Sidney Powell. But I really, REALLY want her to be lead counsel and attorney of record for DJT.

If she is only representing solo voters, she has an uphill fight because a court can say “OK, if your client was denied the right to vote, fair enough, we hereby decree that his vote shall count. But we are not going to throw away other votes.” This would be a meaningless victory. But I imagine that is the only remedy a single aggrieved voter is going to get. On the other hand, the aggrieved candidate can get a much broader judicial remedy.

After this MAJOR screw up by Rudy this is the best course to take.

They seem to think so. After Rudy's screw up. They will have to start from scratch again as Rudy's case had no chance to amend it. This might be our best chance to get the electoral votes we need. Though I personally believe there are other paths Trump hasn't played yet.
