Original Note:
It is not at all clear that the vice president can do this. The idea comes from the 12th amendment which states only that the president of the senate, meaning the current vice president, shall "open all certificates and the votes shall then be counted". https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/constitutional-amendments-amendment-12-electing-president-and-vice-president
