There appears to have been a very serious plan to stop the counting by removing VP Pence from the scene. This would have left the election uncertified, and then various alternative panels of “fake electors” would have emerged to challenge the count. There was even a plan hatched within the political DoD leadership to declare marshal law and put the military on the streets to violently crush the ensuing protests. This has all been reported on and a few Google searches will turn up all the citations you apparently missed.
