The Electoral College failed to decide a winner in the 1876 election so it was thrown into Congress, a different scenario altogether. In any case. the Electoral College wasn’t overridden, there is no way for that to happen.

I assume that if some information were to come before Congress AFTER the EC had chosen a winner, that the person was somehow ineligible Congress could impeach, them, but that is all. I know of no Constitutional provision to nullify the result of the EC vote.

I know of no Constitutional provision to nullify the result of the EC vote.

If the electoral college vote does not reach the necessary 270 votes, then Congress gets to decide (one state, one vote).

There could be a scenario where Congress refused to accept some electors even though there was only one slate presented to them by the state, but I would agree there is no precedent for that. However, I believe such a refusal is not prohibited by the language of the Twelfth Amendment.
