It doesn't work that way. Pence doesn't require acquiescence from the House Speaker to conduct the count in any particular fashion. He has the sole ability to put a full stop to the count. If there's a significant number of objections in congress, I believe he would be hard pressed to ignore them. It's very possible he'll say that the issue is still going through the courts and needs to be addressed before the vote goes through--OR supposing he chooses not to count period. Then the legislatures themselves are up to bat.
