No way really?

The suit was to give Pence power to unilaterally discard electors, does he really already have that power?

Then it's set in stone that it all depends on Pence.

Pence doesn’t just have the power, there is literal precedent that he may pick when he is presented with 2 slates of competing electors, and a constitutional obligation to count only lawful electors.

That does not mean pence is the only route. Congress may object to electors, force the 2 hour debate per state, and should they fail to reach majority agreement as to a course, trigger the contingent election clause in the constitution, without pence doing a thing
