Don’t state legislatures already have the right to determine how a state’s Electors are chosen? Baring a state law to the contrary and long-standing custom, are states even required to hold elections for Electors?

In the election of 1860, Electors for Lincoln weren’t even on the southern states’ ballots. Of course that didn’t work out all that well for them.

“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States”

If Joe can have electors, so can Trump.

However, the Colorado legislature has the unilateral right to say its electors are for Biden, Hillary, Newsom or Trump. It doesn’t probably because Republican legislators have the power to select more electors.

Democrat states will void electors when Trump wins, and appoint electors for Biden, no matter how much Trump wins by. Republican states will appoint electors by whomever wins the election with the most votes.
