Oh, I guess 1 Dem congressmen and 1 Dem senator would declare dispute (more likely all of them) if Pence did that, sending the vote to House delegates.

That is the mechanism to dispute votes regardless of any "dueling" status, and requires Congress to agree to disregard them.
This is the nightmare scenario.
How is it a nightmare scenario? 12th ammendment would be invoked.
