Just no.
The electoral count act that was in effect in 2020 had been written after the 1876 election when three states were disputed, and all three were in flux in terms of what state constitution they were even under due to reconstruction ending.
Ignoring that.
Yes, federal law allows for the possibility of two sets of Electors sending in ballots. It's not a federal crime if two sets of ballots are sent.  But it is a state crime.  The state must maintain its legitimacy and punish those who illegitimately claim to speak for them.

No crime though. They are claiming the state cheated and the SoS is a part of the cheating. Laws were clearly broken by the states but courts didn't care. You can go read why they were sent. They weren't sent to revolt, they didn't represent themselves as the certified electors by the SoS, and they didn't go and kill the other electors and replace them.

They were sent because of the broken laws, cheating, and whatever other bribery or crimes were needed to keep the courts from stopping it. If the state didn't stop it, the representatives of the other states had a chance to stop it as their interests are at risk if 1 state is cheating.
