The U.S. Constitution reads:
"Each state shall appoint,
in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector."

Supreme Court upholds Legislatures, not Popular Election results, drive selection of electors, who can be required to uphold the will of the LEGISLATURE, not the popular election:
High Court Opens Door to Electoral College Subversion
regarding "faithless" electors: "In its ruling, the high court said that states have the right to require those electors to vote
in the manner mandated by their legislatures."

The Election That Could Break America (very anti-Trump article but worth reading)
December 8 is known as the “safe harbor” deadline for appointing the 538 men and women who make up the Electoral College. The electors do not meet until six days later, December 14, but each state must appoint them by the safe-harbor date to guarantee that Congress will accept their credentials. The controlling statute says that
if “any controversy or contest” remains after that, then Congress will decide which electors, if any, may cast the state’s ballots for president.
We are accustomed to choosing electors by popular vote, but nothing in the Constitution says it has to be that way. Article II provides that each state shall appoint electors “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” Since the late 19th century, every state has ceded the decision to its voters. Even so, the Supreme Court affirmed in Bush v. Gore that a state “can take back the power to appoint electors.” How and when a state might do so has not been tested for well over a century.

Republicans have full control of the legislative branch in 30 states.
1) Massive Election Fraud in Democratic cities
2) Observers barred - an ILLEGAL ACTION by Dems
3) Ballot viabilities not scrutinized by Legislatures (who are appointed to run the Federal election for each state - NOT Democrat-appointed municipal clerks.
4) Recounts and Lawsuits
5) State Legislatures are a GOP majority - but not every state has to use this power.
The states with controversial "results" - are in GOP legislature hands. They CAN appoint their own Electors!
PA, WI, MI, GA, AZ, NC can all vote for Trump. Constitutionally and confirmed by SCOTUS.
6) If the controversy extends to the U.S. Congress, the HOUSE votes ONE VOTE PER STATE - Trump wins because GOP has a majority of states in Congress.
Donald J Trump is going to have a second term.
