The theory is rooted in the fact that the U.S. Constitution grants state legislatures
the power to decide how electors are chosen. Each state already has passed laws
that delegate this power to voters and appoint electors for whichever candidate
wins the state on Election Day. The only opportunity for a state legislature to
then get involved with electors is a provision in federal law allowing it if the
actual election “fails.”

If the result of the election was unclear in mid-December, at the deadline for
naming electors, Republican-controlled legislatures in those states could declare
that Trump won and appoint electors supporting him. Or so the theory goes.

The problem, legal experts note, is that the result of the election is not in any
way unclear. Biden won all the states at issue. It’s hard to argue the election
“failed” when Trump’s own Department of Homeland Security reported it was not
tampered with and was “the most secure in American history.” There has been no
finding of widespread fraud or problems in the vote count, which shows Biden leading
Trump by more than 5 million votes nationally.

Trump’s campaign and its allies have filed lawsuits that aim to delay the
certification and potentially provide evidence for a failed election. But so far,
Trump and Republicans have had meager success ? at least 10 of the lawsuits have
been rejected by the courts in the 10 days since the election. The most significant
that remain ask courts to prevent Michigan and Pennsylvania from certifying Biden as
the winner of their elections.
