Feel like more than anything else this is manufacturing a reason for Congress to reject the votes from the states that don’t go along with this, as we’ve {vomits} now established that that’s a thing that can happen

The old Congress has no power to do anything with respect to "rejecting" or "accepting" votes. The new Congress has always had the power to refuse to seat presumptive members, but that is up to the presumptive members.

If Democrats win the House it's nowhere near as easy for Republicans to "refuse to seat them" as people seem to be dooming about.

Yes, as long as they have one house of congress, that becomes a much less worrisome possibility

If Republicans hold the House none of this matters anyway.
