The White House strategy has emerged:
Create doubt in the election or delay certification in at least 3 states to persuade Republican-controlled legislatures to vote their own slates of electors. Pres. Trump has called Michigan state legislators to the White House Friday...

President Trump called on Georgia Gov. Kemp to "call in the Legislature!"
I explored this before the election. It's completely legal at the US Constitutional level: Article II empowers states to choose how their electors are selected...

Some rely on the fact that this would violate state laws that award electors based on the popular vote, BUT who makes the law? Legislators. They can amend it at will. This would require denying the votes of the People, or believing the election was hopelessly corrupted...

Current efforts (the Lin Wood suit in Georgia) ask courts to delay/deny certification. If enough states can't certify & legislatures refuse to vote their own slate of electors, Biden's electoral votes fall below 270. Then the US House decides by state delegation, favoring Trump.

Again, not saying this is going to happen at all. Just that it's their strategy.

There are several articles on this, but a lot get it wrong because they stop at 'state law' and forget that it can be amended if not part of the state constitution. Dec. 8 is the deadline. Not saying it's going to happen, but clearly the strategy. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-strategy/trumps-election-power-play-persuade-republican-legislators-to-do-what-u-s-voters-did-not-idUSKBN27Z30G?il=0

In the case of sub-270 electors, Article II, Clause Three would prevail:
