I was reading through the document on the link. The 12th ammendment was written to outline electoral college procedures and describe what happens if one person doesn't get a majority, this is what the "other dispute" line is about. This is simply saying that if is underclear if a candidate gets 270 this happens, and by this point if the certified votes are handed for counting that constitutes valid votes. States would have to undo certification before that point, if it's in congresses hands they're counting it unless there's an objection from both chambers. Those unfortunately are clear votes for a candidate if they are certified when counted.
That only happens in a few instances. In this case, enough states would have to get throw out to get Biden under the 270 mark, and the only way electoral votes is thrown out is through the previously mentioned house/senate agreement. If we reach January 6th and nothings changed we have simply lost the white house by that point. The changes would need to be made prior to this point.
What happens if Congress hits an impasse when certifying the electoral college? First, there’s no game clock dictating that Congress has exhausted all options. But if Congress determines there’s a stalemate, the 12th Amendment directs the House to elect the president.
This is called a “contingent election.” The House has chosen two presidents via contingent elections: Thomas Jefferson in 1801 and John Quincy Adams in 1825.
Each state casts one ballot as a House delegation during a contingent election. The House only considers the top three electoral college vote-getters in a contingent election. Likely President Trump, Biden and, perhaps someone else. There have been 165 “faithless electors” in U.S. history. These are persons who vote for someone besides the candidates for whom they are pledged.
What I get from this is this: Deliberating body - deliberates.

The final decision as to who becomes the next president rests on Capitol Hill.
The key takeaway is dispute.
