Is it possible

That Nancy Pelosi have authority to not accept the results of the EC because of the GOQ is picking their own presidents and congress people? I thought it was said here that she can reject it.Or do I have it wrong? Thanks.

no one person has the authority to reject the results of the electoral college. Pence couldn't and Pelosi can't.

If at least one representative and one senator object to the results of a particular state, both houses of congress will vote on whether or not to accept that state's results
