Not a Constitutional scholar but -

From what I understand, there have to be enough states in dispute that Biden's total drops below 270 before anything like that happens. Just one state is not enough.

Am I right in believing this?

No.

Any slate of Electors excluded reduces the total needed to win.

Yes, that is the goal. I am assuming they go alphabetically as well and Arizona may be the first objection. If we could win that one it may make it easier for more dominoes to fall.

Both Houses have to vote to reject electors from any one state. If one chamber doesn’t, then the votes from states in dispute stand.
