Vice President Mike Pence, Giuliani said, could refuse to count the votes of at least six states where Trump contested the election and the results are “so confusing.” That would be sufficient, Giuliani said, to deny Biden an electoral college victory.

In that case, the election would be decided by the House, with each state delegation casting a single vote. Because Republicans control more state delegations than Democrats, Trump would then prevail, Giuliani said.

Republicans who have said they won’t take part in Trump’s efforts argue he is asking them to overturn the will of voters.

One of them, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), called the effort to use the congressional process to reverse Biden’s electoral college victory a “dangerous ploy” last week.
