What I read is that the process works like this:
* simultaneous objections from House members and Senate members are required to have a legal objection to the vote count on 1/6
* if that happens, they go into a 2 hour debate on the disputed electors and states.
* after the debate, the house and senate must vote on whether to retain the certified electors or to use the alternate GOP electors. Majority wins, but you need majorities in both houses. All Dems in the house will vote against. So this is dead on arrival, but even in the Senate, we know that McConnell and Romeny will vote against and there are many others who have already indicated they will vote against. So the vote for the GOP electors won't pass in the Senate either.

I hate to say this, but the odds are long to impossible at this point. There's only one last Hail Mary I can think of. Pence could unilaterally decide to throw out the certified electors of the disputed states as invalid. The Constitution seems to be vague enough on the authority vested in the VP vote counter. So he could use the grey area to throw the vote to Trump. But will Pence do that? Not sure. It's the only possibility left now. I know Trump has several suits working, but those won't go anywhere in the courts, because they are all compromised, as we have already seen after 50 failed lawsuits.

So it boils down to Pence now. Oh and one more thing. The military has put out a message that they will not get involved in elections, so it appears Trump does not have the support of the military. So they are locking him in to a forced loss, despite the fact that there can be no doubt now that this election was stolen through massive fraud.
