how is this different than electors challenging an election that was somehow ilegal?


Good question. If electors cannot reject the so-called will of the state voter over election integrity questions, how can they reject it over what voters in other states are doing?

Electors are mandated to follow the rules of the state from where they are selected.

If that means they have to legally support the state certified election winner, then they have no role to "reject the so-called will of the state voter over election integrity questions".

If this mandate is to give their support to the popular vote winner, then that's the requirement (assuming Constitutionality).

I don't think that the States are even required to hold a public vote for their POTUS electors.
