Could the USSC have an important opinion on to what extent each state electing a slate of electors in the federal election of a US President makes the Presidential election process a state one rather than federal?
I have read before (here, in fact) that we don’t have an election for President every four years, we have 50 seperate state elections to send electors to DC to then finish electing the president.
Has this ever been twisted in such a tangled way to punish members of the opposition party? How about the vindictive state prosecutions of the alternate slates of electors that several states are conducting against President Trump supporters? Will those actions continue and stand if co0nvictions result?

The Constitution is clear that the state legislatures have the power to choose the method of selecting Electors. This makes it 50 state elections.
