They can try but it’s highly unlikely their second slate of electors would survive the legal challenges. Especially absent a court order invalidating the election results.
Well they absolutely can do it but the RINO leadership will never have the stones to do it. Georgia is still run on the good ole boys protocol.

The Constitution gives the Legislature plenary authority in elections.
Governor Kemp is utterly incompetent in every regard.
DoodleDawg always spewing demonrat talking points and never anything conservative. Your expiration date on here is long past.

Supreme Court precedent would seem to disagree with you. Even a state constitutional provision nor a federal statute could not prevent the state legislature from appointing a slate of electors if they so choose. The power given to the state legislatures to choose the method of selecting the electors is plenary and cannot be removed, limited or abdicated:
“This power is conferred upon the legislatures of the States by the Constitution of the United States, and cannot be taken from them or modified by their State constitutions... Whatever provisions may be made by statute, or by the state constitution, to choose electors by the people, there is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated.”

Completely wrong...
“Legal challenges” to the Legislature’s decision... on what grounds ?
The CONSTITUTION REQUIRES that is the Legislature’s duty ?
It doesn’t say HOW they do what they do... but it says, when they do it... that’s it. The left saying “when state officials certify a result, that’s it”... are wrong. That’s not their job... beyond what the legislature directs... and it the legislature directs something else... the something else is what is legitimate, and nothing else is.
The Constitution... does not empower courts to second guess the legislature ? The legislature IS THE COURT that decides this issue...
