Actually, Congress rules are probably the last stop. It would be a useless exercise with this election.
If we had taken the house and kept the senate it might have been interesting.
Objections and limits on congressional inquiry.
Under Section 4 (3 U.S.C. § 15), upon reading of "any certificate or paper, the president of the Senate shall call for objections, if any." Every objection must be made in writing, and must "state clearly and concisely, and without argument," the ground for the objection. It must be signed by at least one Senator and one member of the House of Representatives before the objection can be received. Once all objections to any vote or paper from a state have been received and read, the Senate withdraws and the two houses consider the objections separately.
However, when considering such objections, Section 4 requires that – assuming "but one return [from the state] has been received" – no electoral votes from electors whose appointment has been "lawfully certified" under the ascertainment process (see above) can be rejected. The two houses may only reject a vote or votes if both houses agree that such vote(s) have not been "regularly given" by an individual elector or electors.https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/3/15 wiki also has a half-way decent explanation on it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Act RATs tried to do this in 2000 and Gore rule the motions out of order.
