If for any reason the electoral college does not award 270 votes to a single person, a vote by the house woild be taken.

Each state delegation gets one vote. Since there are more republican state delegations they control, they would pick the next potus. The senate would pick the vpotus.

Its unclear though whether delaying certification would cause a house vote. Either way, the gop is in control and grassley would not be the next potus.
