Jag hittade detta, kan du hjälpa mig att förstå vilken del som inte håller?
>In other words, if there are competing electoral slates, the President of the Senate - Vice President Pence - would have the ultimate authority on which slate of electors to accept and which to reject.
Den fetade raden verkar i alla fall säga samma grej som Nixter hävdar!?

Q: What happens if multiple slates of electors are competing to represent a particular state?
So there are two ways that this has happened. One is relatively benign. That is when the state procedures to resolve election disputes that Jack was just talking about take too long and end up reversing the initial result. The second way is much, much worse. And that’s when there’s a catastrophic breakdown of the rule of law in the state that’s affected. The first situation arose once in 1960 when there was a legal dispute over the outcome of Hawaii’s presidential election and legal proceedings dragged on, and it ended up with a reversal of the original results. So what happened there was the governor reported to Congress the initial provisional result, which was that the Republican, Richard Nixon, had won. That was reported to Congress.

So both of these preconditions do seem possible in this cycle. That is an extremely extended legal battle over the outcome in the states and the contest phase, and a potential breakdown or disregarding of the Rule of Law. If that occurs and two slates of electors make it to Congress, how is it resolved? So first of all, the actual rules are complex and ambiguous and contested. Here’s the bottom line: Congress will decide which slate of electors vote, which electoral votes to count or to count none of the votes. And if that happens, both houses voting separately have to agree. If they don’t agree, that creates some other possibilities, which my colleagues will now discuss.

Now ultimately, the way this works is when Congress convenes the joint session on Jan. 6th, with the incumbent vice president presiding, the votes are opened by the vice president. And if there is an objection to the vote from any particular state, then the two houses go to their separate chambers and they are to resolve this objection. If the two chambers agree, that’s the slate they’re going to count, or the slate they’re going to reject. If they disagree, the ultimate tiebreaker in the statute is that the certificate that is signed by the executive of the state is to be the one that is the tiebreaker.
