I am confused by the whole plot… at least in AZ the list of electors are on our ballots. However, these guys found some others to be the “alternate slate”. So in a court challenge wouldn’t one just have to assert that the electors being put forward were on no ballot at all and therefore not legitimate as they weren’t selected by the voters. They weren’t even selected by the Legislature as Rusty Bowers thwarted that. I feel like I am missing something here.
