Forged documents are illegal. Changing laws regarding how electors are selected isn’t.
Heck - way back in 2000 the Supreme Court hinted at the tactic in the majority opinion in Bush v Gore, saying that the Florida legislature probably could have just selected electors directly after the vote.

Actually, a lot of the fake electors tried to use the defense that there’s no specific law against fake elector documents.
Colorado just signed a law that says fake electors are illegal.
