The states are required by the Constitution to cast their electoral votes by Dec 14th. If there are contested states and neither candidate has 270 electoral votes, the Constitution calls for a vote of the House legislature, one vote per state delegation, on January 5th when they reconvene. If all the Republican states vote for Trump, he wins. If 4 defect, Biden wins. (26 republican legislatures vs 22 Democrat)
Trump is also well aware of this too as he mentioned it in a previous rally.

Can someone please help me understand?
The house can vote for the president and the senate will vote for the vp. Right? Are Republicans trusted to vote for Trump? Are they bound by their state ballot and have to vote for Trump?
Is this a fail safe incase the courts don’t toss out illegal ballots? Because that would mean Biden remains President elect.
Trump won. It’s obvious they cheated hard, but there are a few hurdles before we see Trump inaugurated. I’m confident he will ultimately serve the next 4 years, but I just want to be educated on exactly what needs to happen to get him there as well as how the process works.
