And yes, the court was overseeing the recount and eventual certification that went from the Governor to Congress.
And I asked you for a citation, and you offered the Honolulu Star piece.
Which says nothing about the court "overseeing the recount and eventual certification".
Courts do not "oversee" State election workers counting ballots.
In fact, the article says the "executive authority" had certified the electors for Nixon. It was only after the recount that the Circuit Court said the electors should go to Kennedy.
The democrat "fake" electors had already "forged" their ballots on Dec 19. The picture in that article shows a democrat party official around a table of democrat "fake" electors, there are no State officials in the picture.

"Although the Hawaii attorney general's office declared that the only "official" electoral votes would go to Nixon, and that the Hawaii recount itself would need a recount if results showed Kennedy ahead, Gov. William Quinn -- a Republican -- notified Congress that Hawaii's votes were Republican."
"The recount was completed by Christmas, and showed Kennedy carrying Hawaii by 115 votes. The Circuit Court ruled that Hawaii's three electoral votes should go to the Democrats, but the governor's office waffled on making the proper notifications.
By the time it was decided that a new certificate was necessary, only two days remained before Congress convened on Jan. 6, 1961 and a letter to Congress saying a certificate was on the way was rushed out by registered air mail.
It arrived in time. In the congressional roll call of delegate votes, Hawaii went to Kennedy
when Nixon decided not to contest the reversed vote."

What happened in 2020 is the same thing that happened in Hawaii, the only difference is that the challenges in 2020 were not successful. There was no re-certification of the electoral votes, and the Trump electors were not counted.
For the record, I objected to the pressure that was put on Pence to reject the certificates from the contested States- not on legal grounds but because I view it as repugnant to the Constitution- that an elected official could pick his own electors.
The fact that Republicans put forth a slate of contingent electors is purely a procedural step to preserve the right of that State to have their votes counted.
The remedy you have said is the only option is to just disenfranchise the entire State. That there can be no alternates available at all.
That is not what the law required in 2020. The law obviously contemplated a situation where multiple slates of electors were possible, because it contained the provisions for dealing with that possibility.
