19. Win the House

If the Democrats take the House then that issue is a moot point as the new House is
sworn into session on January 2nd or 3rd. Also the entire Congressional representatives of that state have to vote for the candidate that they want. It must be unanimous. That is how the 1876 election was decided. There was some serious deal making that went on. There is no way that a Democratic Congressional Member from a red state is going to roll over and vote with thier republican counterparts for Donald Trump.

Refusing to certify the election isn't going to work either as that move will be quickly challenged in court and unless definitive proof of voter/election fraud can be proven those election deniers will be ordered to certify the election or be removed or jailed for contempt.
