You apparently took creative reading rather than creative writing. There is nothing that qualified as an example after the act was made law. None of the circumstances listed in the act happened in January. I’ve quoted it verbatim below:
“The Act thus relegates Congress to resolving only a narrow class of disputes, such as if a governor has certified two different slates of electors or if a state fails to certify its results under the Act's procedures.
[7]Congress may also reject votes under the Act for other specific defects, such as ministerial error, if an elector or candidate are ineligible for office, or if the electoral college votes were not "regularly given."
[7][8]”
The act played a role in the 2000 election and commentary in the article states “Both houses can overrule the Vice President's decision to include or exclude votes and, under the Act, even if the chambers disagree, the
governor's certification, not the Vice President, breaks the tie. “
There were NO contested slates of electors and no other condition existed to stop the certification except Trump’s attempt to usurp power. It’s clear that had Pence followed Trump’s order he would have broken the law. Trump gave an illegal order.
