You are conflating things.

Objections are asserted state by state. Nobody will object to the electors submitted by Utah, for example - 2 hours of debate, then the objection is voted on by the entire body. All that “objection” stuff will be completed on Jan 6.

If that process does not result in a winner, like if there are three candidates or no majority because some states are tossed wholesale, only in that circumstance does the “each state gets one vote” thing trigger.

See 12th amendment.

“ no majority because some states are tossed wholesale”

Rejected electors lower the number needed to win.
