It seems SCOTUS is trying to steal clear of this as they don't want to set a precedent. Everyone knows that this was bungled and that people got caught.
Not many have the courage to do what needs to be done.

The State Legislature not the electors, decide which slate of electors goes to DC.
However, Both slates are voting:
The currently certified electors for Biden.
The currently uncertified electors for Trump.
The idea is when we win in court/state legislature, they'll be retroactively certified.
GOP Electors are voting alongside Dem Electors in the contested slates.
This occurred in FL/SC/LA during Election 1876 and in Hawaii during Election 1960.
The Trump and Pence Forces are planning a showdown. Certified, or not.
Notice how McConnell and McCarthy have the President's back and it is mid-December...
