You’re assuming that she’s still Speaker in January. The 117th Congress (the entire House and 33 Senators) gets chosen in November and sworn in on January 3
That’s besides the point regardless. A quorum is called to count the Electoral College votes. No exceptions, unless the Dems are saying they want to stage a coup. If there’s no outright winner, the House has no choice but to immediately begin the process of choosing the President (eg, quorum is still active)
That assumes Nancy allows a quorum to be called.
If she doesn’t, she becomes acting President.
