I thought the constitution said the 4th wednesday of the month of December?
EDIT: according to this twitter user:
If Pence does notify the states today (he won’t), he is also throwing out the republican electoral votes that were so painstakingly cast and that our state republicans are trying so very hard to get certified by state legislatures.
By December 23, Pence must receive the ballots from the Electoral College vote in each of the states.
On January 6 the House and Senate will meet in a joint session to tabulate the electoral votes. Pence will serve as the presiding officer and announce the results of each state in alphabetical order pursuant to procedures set forth under federal law. AFTER EACH STATE'S RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED, MEMBERS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER OBJECTIONS TO THOSE RESULTS. Objections must be made in writing and require the support of at least one member of the House of Representatives and one member from the Senate.

Looks like he just receives them today but the big day is in January. (emphasis mine).

Rules are rules - they show up with votes from a contested state, they get ignored.
That seems an odd choice - trading a sure path to victory for a dubious one.
Do we need them?
We don't even know if it's real

Receiving the votes today has nothing to do with the PenceCard shit people are spewing.
