How Will Pence Treat the Electoral Envelopes in His Hand?

“What Mike Pence could do, and what he should do, in fact, is to direct a question back to the state legislatures when there are two competing slates of delegates from these six states. He can ask that question to the states and say, ‘Well, state legislators, you know, I have an oath to the Constitution to uphold the Constitution as written in Article II Section 1.2, which says the state legislatures direct the manner in which electoral delegates are selected.

“‘So you tell me which of these two slates was selected in the manner that your state general assembly has designated.'”

As Ellis noted, this would be “returning the authority to the constitutionally vested entity,” which should then require some sort of official response from the state legislatures.
