Yes congress. each state gets one vote trump wins. Missouri is already talking about holding their electors. It only takes a few.

Only if one candidate doesn’t get 270 votes. Would need at least 36 votes to switch from Biden to Trump. So far there is no indication that any state legislature is going to appoint its own electors. A few legislators here and there might introduce bills but they won’t go anywhere.

That is our last hope. If enough States refuse to send Electors to the House to keep a candidate from the magic 270, it then if goes to the House with each State having one vote.

I don't have the stats, but I've read many times that a simple majority of the 50 States have Republican legislatures who would provide the one vote. If all stand firm or at least enough to drop below 270, that would give Trump the win. The House only counts the votes and has no authority to over-ride the majority outcome. Am I wrong?

Something that has not been addressed about this "no standing" decision is Bush vs Florida in 2000. IIRC, the Bush complaint was about Florida changing it's own election laws mid-stream. Believe it started with the AG and up to the Florida Supreme Court. Their own State Constitution said such Electoral law could only be changed by their Legislature.

The USSC agree with Bush and stopped the re-re-counting of ballots in Broward County which gave Bush some 500 vote victory. I fail to see why a State (Texas and supporters) was not given the same judicial process, since many counties and complete States of MI, WI, PA, GA did similar and went against their own State Constitution electoral laws without due legislation. What am I missing?

You are aware that those electors are pledged to Trump? So if they don't cast their votes on Monday then Biden wins 306 to 222 instead of 306 to 232.
