The Electors votes are opened and DJT will have 270 or more votes for POTUS; and / or Pence will have 270 or more votes for VP.
There wont be 270 votes for either POTUS or VP, and then it goes into contingent voting:
For POTUS, it goes to the House members to vote by State Delegation (each State gets 1 vote; so Rhode Island with 2 House seats gets 1 vote; and CA with 53 House seats gets 1 vote.) Majority of votes to win.
For VP, the voting goes to the Senators to decide. The list of names that are eligible have to come from the top vote getters from the Electors. Majority of votes to win.
Also to note, Electors and congress can only vote for eligible people; so those that are ineligible either for already serving say 8 years as Potus; or not (natural born) US Citizens; who received votes, their vote totals = zero (eg the Dem Ticket.)
If no one gets a majority for either POTUS or VP in immediate contingent voting; the timeline goes into "Overtime phase" of re-voting by the House or Senate, until winners are selected by Jan 20th. More rules follow, some rules are also not constitutional as well in the overtime phase. In the event, that none are selected, If it goes down this path; there will be more legal challenges including to things like unconstitutional provisions in Amendments which need to be stricken down too.
Another note: New congress gets sworn in on Jan 3rd; and of course there's issues with many House and some Senate seats; including violations by having voting occur before Election Day and after Election Day; which violates the US Constitution & US Code from it.
Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1: Time, place, and manner of holding
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing [sic] Senators.
Which congress has set in "2 U.S. Code § 7.Time of election"
The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States, of Representatives and Delegates to the Congress commencing on the 3d day of January next thereafter.
See how enforcing the US Constitution as written solves most all these "problems" which have been created by intentionally violating the US Constitution by the democracy party.
Pence can look at Pennsylvania (or any) and decide, "Oh wow! That's a substantial amount of fuckery. Let's just pretend Pennsylvania (or any) doesn't exist this year."
So Pence can choose Dem or Rep electors, if boths' electoral certificates are submitted (which is the case in some states.) Or he can just decide NOT to accept any electors from a contested state. Because, according to the Constitution, that is his legal right as President of the Senate.
The way it "normally" works, is State Legislatures appoint two SLATES of ELECTORS (one DEM, one REP) before Election Day. Then, whichever side wins the public's votes on Election Day for POTUS/VP; that's the party's who's SLATE is "certified" by the Sec of that State & Governor of that State. [This process btw violates what is written in the US Constitution, but it's what nearly everyone does for awhile, particularly since 3 USC 1 etc was passed and took effect in June 1948, which is why/how Dem President Truman "won" his re-election in Nov 1948 with post-midnight ballot dumps as well.]
So by US Constitution, congress can set when the Electors do their voting for Potus & VP; this was/is set as Dec 14th.
So in these 5-ish "battleground" States (aka the Dem Fraud/Cheating States), on Dec 14th, both the DEM and REP SLATES of ELECTORS did their voting.
So now these States have two sets of Electors votes signed & sealed & sent into DC to be opened on Jan 6th.
So Trump for POTUS ( & Pence for VP ) has over 270 Elector Votes to win, if open/count the Republican Elector SLATES.
How will there be no 270 votes for anyone?
If both the DEM & Republican SLATES get tossed out, means these "battleground" States will have sent zero "legit/legal" Electoral Votes; thus no one will likely have the 270 required; and this means it goes to the "contingent voting" by the House (for POTUS) and Senate (for VP).
In the US Constitution, as per Article 3's (Vesting clause), it is the judiciary's job to "judge"/decide these things as it is with any violations of the Law/US Constitution. These is still 1 week left for the judiciary to do their job on this Elector matter. (Unless the judiciary strikes down the 20th Amendment in the next week, which would unamend the US Constitution and restore the March date rather than the January Date for all this to occur; which isn't on anyone's radar atm.)
So in these 5-ish "battleground" States (aka the Dem Fraud/Cheating States), on Dec 14th, both the DEM and REP SLATES of ELECTORS did their voting.
So now these States have two sets of Electors votes signed & sealed & sent into DC to be opened on Jan 6th.
So Pence can consider these "alternate slate of electors" even if it was just a small number of State Legislators (30 out of 100, or whatever small minority) that got together and sent it to him? Does not require a majority of State legislature in order to be a valid Slate?
What exactly will happen on Jan 6th? What I mean: How will Trump be elected on this day? With Pence or?
Well it generally will go one of two ways:
The Electors votes are opened and DJT will have 270 or more votes for POTUS; and / or Pence will have 270 or more votes for VP.
There wont be 270 votes for either POTUS or VP, and then it goes into contingent voting:

Thank you very much.
How Trump will have 270+ votes?
How will there be no 270 votes for anyone?

You're welcome and Happy New Year's Eve/Day too!

Some of this I already knew. But thanks for this in-depth explanation! However, all of this is theory, I'm excited to see what will happen on Jan 6!
