The Electoral College: A 2020 Presidential Election Timeline https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11641

"While the tellers announce the results, Members may object to the returns from any individual state as they are announced. Objections to individual state returns must be made in writing by at least one Member each of the Senate and House of Representatives. If an objection meets these requirements, the joint session recesses and the two houses separate and debate the question in their respective chambers for a maximum of two hours. The two houses then vote separately to accept or reject the objection. They then reassemble in joint session, and announce the results of their respective votes. An objection to a state’s electoral vote must be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded."

I believe it's the State senate and state house. Not DC.

Electors may not be U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, or anyone holding an “Office of Trust or Profit under the United States.”

” In practice, nominees tend to be a mixture of state and local elected officials, party activists, celebrities, and ordinary citizens.

I was just saying the House will be held by the Dems, they'll never go for invalidating dem electors.
Best bet is to get the Republican State Houses to turn over the votes to Republican electors.
