Here is info about a Contingent election, must be certified by joint session of Congress. If you search, plenty of info that Congress by law set the date for the joint session for January 6
Thanks. I can not seem to find Jan 6 being the hard deadline in the document, or that it goes back to the states. The closest I see is this:
A contingent election would be conducted by a newly elected Congress, immediately following the joint congressional session that counts and certifies electoral votes. This session is set by law for January 6 of the year following the presidential election,but is occasionally rescheduled.

Can you please point to a specific language of the law?
