In Part I, we unpack & play out the rules that apply during the Joint Session. In Part II, we explain state certification of electors. In Part III, we address sham Trump electors. Part IV covers historical precedent. Part V describes Pence's ministerial role as presiding officer.
Our bottom line: Under the Electoral Count Act of 1887, there can be no doubt that the Joint Session will select Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.
There may be sound and fury on January 6, but it will not change the outcome.
