Re: Pence’s role ....
Is the objective to bring Biden below 270 so the election is decided one vote/one state in the House?

Certified competing slates of electors have only come into play two times before, 1876 and 1960, if I am not mistaken.
Below is an excerpt from my earlier post. Note that I qualify it by saying "IF a state sends two slates of electors..." I trust that the Trump team knows what they are doing and have a game-plan to get these Trump slates certified so that Pence has them on 1/6.
If a state sends two slates of electors, the president of the Senate (VP Pence) may decide which slate to accept. This is one way in which Trump can be re-elected on January 6th. All it would take is for Pence to select the Trump electors in contested states where he believes vote fraud took place. But as I understand it, Pence doesn't even really need a reason. If he has two slates presented from a given slate, he can arbitrarily choose to accept one slate over the other.
