Sending fraudulent electors is indeed both a state and federal crime, but that’s not what the topic was about.
The Electoral Count Act prevents a state from changing its laws around selecting electors at the last minute, so who is in the majority in the legislature or elections boards doesn’t matter. AFAIK, all swing states award their electors to the winner of the state’s popular vote, and any slate of electors that doesn’t reflect that would be fraudulent.
