they really can't. the outcome would vary by state law, and a lot of it in new case law. the net effect is just to remove some evs from play. ok--so neither candidate gets 270 and we do a house vote which the rs win. so the ds will secede? no i doubt it, that is how you lose the civil war. much more likely is that harris is counting her own evs, and so counts removed from play evs for herself, getting to 270 overriding the missing state certifications before the house delegation vote. then the rs will definitely secede, and the ds will have everything they want.
