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)
No, you didn't.

And provided, also, when any state shall have held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and shall fail to make a choice on the day aforesaid, then the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the State shall by law provide
1. The qualification "when any shall shall have held an election" limits the clause to only these specific states. This also implies that states may appoint without "having held an election" (and the clause would not apply)
2. This clause says that IF a state chooses to hold elections AND they fail to do it in time, then electors may be appointed based on state law in subsequent days, which largely neuters the law, but that's another discussion.
