Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any.
Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.
When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw, and such objections shall be submitted to the Senate for its decision; and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, in like manner, submit such objections to the House of Representatives for its decision; ...
When the two Houses have voted, they shall immediately again meet, and the presiding officer shall then announce the decision of the questions submitted. No votes or papers from any other State shall be acted upon until the objections previously made to the votes or papers from any State shall have been finally disposed of.

Shhh, people are too excited about less than a handful of reps and senators being onboard to realize that majorities in both chambers are required to invalidate electoral votes.
You forgot Pence has the ability to toss out any Electoral votes he wants. All that is explained above is just the role of the House and Senate, not Pence full authorities.
Right, but if he doesn't, it's up to Congress, which this post is all about.
This was my first time reading this law and that was the conclusion I came too also. That doesn't bode too well if that's the case. Hmm...
