When the election is contested and there are outstanding liabilities it cannot be certified or should I say will not be certified because the secretary of state in each state accepts responsibility legally and civilly when it is certified so if there are potential outstanding claims it cannot be certified...

You are wrong and I am right.. If the election is contested and trump files lawsuits which he already has it cannot be certified until the lawsuits are over and there is no more liability/potential claims. If the claims are not settled the election is not certified,, if it goes past January 21 and still is not certified it is null and void and the house votes on it and he wins.
