If contested states are left unresolved by January 6th, the Constitution allows those states to be completely stricken from the Electoral College by Pence. This dramatically lowers the threshold for an electoral college win and does NOT require senators to certify Trump electors, NEITHER does it require the house to vote in a contingent election.

It doesn't. And the states aren't contested to begin with in any formal sense.

If the state legislatures are disputing their own electors, then it’s in dispute.
