Vice President Cheney counted and certified the votes of the Electoral College without objection from even one of the 535 members of Congress, therefore those three words kick in.

Except he failed to ask for objections. That was the final rule that wasn't followed. The fix was in.

Objections had to be submitted in writing by at least one Senator and one Representative. Since no written objections had been received, calling for objections was moot.
Furthermore, under the rules of both Houses of Congress, any member can call for a point of order which immediately suspends business as usual if they feel a rule has been broken. No one called for a point of order, normal business continues.
