It may be constitutional but the states did not act according to their state constitutions.

That’s a very good point. If the STATE constitution says that electors will be selected by popular vote, they couldn’t possibly amend it in time to leave to their legislatures. Unless their constitution has provisions to account for when a popular vote fails.

So even though a legislative vote would comport with the US Constitution, it might not comport with the State Constitution. Therefore, electors would need to be thrown out.

Interesting Catch-22. Gave me something to ponder.

That wasn’t where I was going. They violated their constitutions by allowing their SOS and Governors to impose voting policies that only the legislatures could approve. They did not do that.
