It's difficult to see how the American revolution ever started following such strict construction for sure.
Congress has a duty to see that these votes were submitted by the State legislature from electors they choose, and the candidates are valid, and are not a two year old i.e. who is ineligible for office (no, States can't submit anyone they choose, and Congress is responsible for checking that).
People are playing with words here, and possibly to deceive - which means it's malicious. No, States don't choose electors, in the constitution, only state legislatures do. These electors objected to were not chosen directly by the legislatures, or by their direction under law (an extension to the constitution that is thought to be valid, but doesn't have to be). While it may be true states are responsible for investigating their fraud, that isn't what is going on.
Instead, election officials broke the laws the state legislatures passed, made new ones, bypassed the legislative approval, even preventing them from meeting, and submitted electors on their own accord. Not state legislatures.
Congress can't rightfully accept any electors, only electors from the state legislature. Since these are not that, Congress should do the right thing and simply send it back to the state legislatures to get their approval.
