That doesn’t apply. See the XII Amendment.

The current sitting House is what certifies the election, and each state gets one vote.

This is incorrect. After the November 2020 election, the new, 117th Congress convened on January 3, 2021 and voted on the certification of the electoral vote on January 6, 2021, with each newly elected House member having one vote. What is correct is that if no presidential candidate has 270 electoral votes, the presidential election will then go to the House, with each state having one vote. Even if the House has a Democratic majority, there is a good chance that the GOP will control at least 26 state delegations, enough to elect Trump President if GOP controlled states Biden won refuse to certify their electors to keep Biden from getting 270. Its an archaic system which desperately needs to be reformed, but won’t be because Republicans.
