I am aware

This is not THAT.

And yes, it would be unchartered waters.

But you are free to have your opinion..which I suppose is that Pence is going to save the day

In 1876, when the nation went to the polls to elect Grant’s successor, Democratic candidate Samuel Tilden, governor of New York, emerged with a lead of more than 260,000 popular votes. But Tilden had amassed only 184 electoral votes—one shy of the number needed to defeat his Republican opponent, Governor Rutherford B. Hayesof Ohio. Returns from three states (Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina) were in dispute, with both sides claiming victory. Together, the states represented a total of 19 electoral votes, which along with one disputed elector from Oregon would be enough to swing the election Hayes’s way. The U.S. Constitution provided no way of resolving the dispute, and now Congress would have to decide.
Pence as president of the senate preside over congress.
