Very important, FEDERAL LAW defines "safe harbor" as six days before the Electoral College meets in person on December 19th. "Under federal law (3 U.S. Code § 5) known as the safe harbor provision, a state must determine its electors six days before the Electoral College members meet in person. In 2016, that deadline is December 13, since the college votes on December 19."

So one way or another, WI, MI and PA must determine their electors by Tuesday the 13th. I'm not sure what the state laws for WI, PA and MI say re: if they have not finished a recount by the 13th. Do they have to go by the initial count, the certified count, do the legislatures have a right to choose the electors, etc.? Does anyone know?

If the recount isn’t finished in time, the legislature can appoint the electors so they can vote.

WI, MI and PA have GOP legislatures.
