What is the take away on states refusing to sign off on their official election results and submitting them to the federal government so the electors of those states can vote? Some states are threatening to do this, the ones where Biden won of course. What can be done, or what are the consequences of doing this, and denying the voice of that entire states population.

I'm sure if they try that it'll wind up in court. Court cases have not been going Trump's way so far. And if they succeed their cities burn.

This is illegal. You can't just decide that the election didn't go your way so you're not sending electors.

Was that just a way to have states report votes at the capitol in a world where that news took two weeks to get across the country? "Hey Walter, go ride to the capitol and tell them Florida voted for Pete." While the Constitution was being drafted some delegates wanted the president to be elected by popular vote and others wanted the president to be chosen by Congress. The electoral college was a compromise born from that debate, giving states proportional representation in determining the president and leaving it up to them to decide how they would decide their electors. Electors were meant to be a safeguard, to allow the ruling class to prevent a bad but popular candidate from being elected president. They've never actually achieved that purpose You can probably guess which states were dead set against deciding the president with a popular vote - slave states

That's somewhat inaccurate, in our first presidential election (1788) 6 out of the 10 states that participated chose electors with a popular vote tally (RI and NC had not ratified yet, and NY didn't select their electors on time lol)

Some states are threatening to do this, the ones where Biden won of course. What can be done, or what are the consequences of doing this, and denying the voice of that entire states population. The take away on that is it is extremely unlikely to happen. But if it did happen, and it changed the outcome of the election, the consequence would be somewhere between "a large portion of the population now considers the federal government to be fundamentally illegitimate" and "within a few years, whatever is officially known as 'The United States', if there is such an entity, consists of less than 50 states."
