As of today it doesn't look like any of the swing-state legislatures are doing much about revoking their fraudulent certification of electors. Unless something changes soon, this means the ball will land in Pence's lap on January 6, 2021. The US Constitution grants the Vice President the exclusive authority and sole discretion in determining which electoral votes to count. However, the Electoral Count Act of 1887 creates a scheme to legitimize electoral votes in violation of the Electors Clause and limits or eliminates the VP's authority to determine which slates of electors should be counted. This act is clearly unconstitutional. Rep. Louie Gohmert of TX has brought a suit in federal court seeking an order upholding the powers of the VP as laid out in the US Constitution. This may be the real Kraken.
