Your link has nothing to do with the Statement you quoted. The legislature in PA can refuse to certify their EC representatives and take back their power since it was never legally transferred by a law. A resolution in PA carries the force of law in that state.

Can anyone point to one significant victory.
I'll give you two.
Pennsylvania has been ordered by a judge to halt certification, which is unprecedented in this country's history.
The Pennsylvania legislature is now in the process of revoking the secretary of states authority to appoint electors. This does NOT necessarily mean PA will appoint Trump electors. It means they are halting the appointment of electors until they are satisfied with the results of the election, possibly after a full audit.
Pennsylvania?
Sorry, no...
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania appeals court judge ordered state officials on Wednesday to halt any further steps toward certifying election results, a day after Gov. Tom Wolf said he had certified Democrat Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election in Pennsylvania.

I've been asking why a higher court would be open to taking a case that has already concluded. I've yet to find an answer.
There'll be different terminology but I can't imagine the process is much different. In the UK you can appeal to have a case looked at again, a case can be referred to a higher court. I'm not seeing the logic behind taking a lost case to a higher court.
Civil courts maybe? but they hold little authority.

2 things about this...
First, the State Legislature did not have the authority to delegate this power to the Governor, since the Constitution did not specifically allow it to be delegated. See the legal doctrine "Delegatus Non Potest Delegare".
Second, while you are correct that the State Legislature doesn't have to appoint Trump electors, they almost certainly would, or every single R Rep would face a massive backlash come their next elections - so they'd need to be very comfortable that Dominion was still going to be around to make sure they won.

Most Democrats are too lazy to look at those documents, and probably wouldn't understand what they are describing anyway.
But according to the Rasmussen poll, 30% of them do understand that you cannot have more votes returned than there are registered voters.
Didn't Giuliani himself back pedal recently and say that wasn't the case?
I think he did...
