At that moment, the Presidency will be in his hands.
And there is nothing stopping Pence, under the (plenary and unappealable) authority vested in him as President of the Senate, from declining to open and count the certificates from the six disputed states.

If they are (as more than 70% of Republicans believe) certificates from non-electors appointed via voter fraud, why should he open & count them?"
If the votes of all 7 contested states are registered as zero, President Trump will have 232 votes, Joe Biden will have 222.

Why bother even having an election if the VP can throw out votes at his discretion?
Seems a ridiculous precedent to set when you think about it. Never going to happen.

Your an artist not an Constitutional lawyer. You might want to read the article before bellowing out a biased opinion. You may learn something other than what the mob tells you.
