Oh shit. I just realized something that is 1000% percent coming if she wins the election. They’re going to sue to deligitimize the election when Kamala Harris as VP oversees the confirmation of the electors that she, Kamala Harris the President Elect, received becuase it “clearly biased/fraudulent/illegal” to perform her duties as VP to confirm her own election. I have zero doubt in my mind that this will happen.
They can try, but an update to the law has since been passed to make totally clear the vice presidential role is purely ceremonial and that they have no power to challenge or alter the proceedings in any way.
I expect like you say they’ll still make a big public stink and file some frivolous suits about it though like it’s a real issue when it’s not to rile people up though. And totally ignoring the other times this has happened before, like Reagan to George HW Bush.
