Actually, seven states submitted dueling electors. It is NOT up to Congress to decide the outcome for those states. Article II makes it clear that states will only submit ONE list to Congress. Seven states submitted TWO. Therefore, last night Congress took an authority it is NOT granted by Article II of the Constitution. Each state, per the Constitution, is allowed ONE certificate.
The correct Constitutional procedure is for Congress to have turned it back to the states to resolve this matter given SOLELY to the states. Not to mention, they had Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia ask for time to investigate and decertify if necessary. This was submitted to Congress in official signed format and Congress completely ignored over 100 state representatives claiming there was fraud and they needed more time (thereby eliminating ANY claim to plausible deniability). Furthermore, in the case of Wisconsin, they notified Congress they would be changing their elector vote for Trump yet it went to Biden last night.
Congress usurped the states powers the way it was handled as the Constitution does not give them the power they assumed last night. As the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land, it is a felony to act unconstitutionally (and Congress is not protected in the event of treason or a felony).

Great explanation.
