If you're trying to plan your Weds/Thurs: @LeaderHoyer tells reporters that, yes, if there are challenges to all 6 states it could take as much as four hours to debate and vote on each one, meaning 24 hours (!) of counting.
Could the joint session recess? It's possible to break at some point if one of the states is challenged (see the statute below) but they would have to restart no later than 10 a.m. the next day. Some sr Dems arguing for no breaks, power through until it's done. 
Said @LeaderHoyer on the recess question: "I don’t think we need to go all night … I’ll have to make that judgment though sometime on Wednesday.”
We'll know more when Arizona comes up shortly after things get underway at 1 p.m. Wednesday: If a senator joins @RepAndyBiggsAZ & co., then it's gonna be an absolute grind. If the senators wait for GA (or MI or PA), there's chance of wrapping up before the sun rises on Thursday.
