but the Congress passed a law in 1845 that hasnt been contested by the Supremes.
And it doesn't include anything about mandated voting, let alone a vote by the population.

And the the act is titled:
Did you read the words of the statute?
It even says electors shall be "appointed", not elected.

I'm disappoint
I even underlined the part for you, where it said they are only appointed if the election results arent certain, certifiable, legit, honest. (insert your reason here)

Is RobbBobb serious, or a troll? Genuinely curious.

Heres another clue
In the link to the statute found in the Library of Congress, someone attached 3 helpful footnotes to the act (in the right hand margin). Lets be clear, these are not my footnotes. But footnotes attached for the purposes of better understanding the Act
#1: Election Day fixed (neither the words appointed nor selected were used)
#2: Vacancies (which clarifies that the day of voting isnt the same day of determining the electors, since there many be a vacancy prior to)
#3: In case of no election (meaning in dispute, because the act clearly said "have held an election")
