deadlines don't move.

11/04/2020 - Counting Popular Votes and Filing Certificates of Ascertainment
12/08/2020 - The “Safe Harbor” Deadline - (Deals with how a state handles a contested election.)
12/14/2020 - Electors Meet Vote in Their States - Create Certificates of the Vote
12/23/2020 - Certificates Must Be Delivered to the Designated Officials(Also - How Failure to Deliver Certificates by December 23 is handled)
01/06/2021 - Joint Session of Congress to Count Electoral Votes and Declare Election Results Meets
01/06/2021 - Joint Session Challenges to Electoral Vote Returns
If it hasn't been done yet, this is the best but not likely chance to constipate the election for a couple of hours.

While the tellers announce the results, Members may object to the returns from any individual state as they are announced. Objections to individual state returns must be made in writing by at least one Member each of the Senate and House of Representatives. If an objection meets these requirements, the joint session recesses and the two houses separate and debate the question in their respective chambers for a maximum of two hours. The two houses then vote separately to accept or reject the objection. They then reassemble in joint session, and announce the results of their respective votes. An objection to a state’s electoral vote must be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded.

Election deadlines

now is the time to finish this.

Trump is a man for drama, and he will want a “Macgyver” moment where the bomb is diffused exactly when it ticks down to one.

Yes, this makes even me stressed.
