The date is set by the Constitution. There is no provision in law or in the Constitution to reset this date on this basis or any other, short of a Constitutional Amendment.It's worth noting that in 2016, @SenTedCruz recognized that @realDonaldTrump was a "pathological liar," "utterly amoral," and "a narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen."https://t.co/uHTPCFj8s5 https://t.co/rIqiwUxfm7 pic.twitter.com/D65yqnanAU

Cruz knows this, although Tuberville probably thinks "constitutional" is a morning walk you take before your first bowel movement of the day.
And notice how carefully they avoid charges/cries of "sedition!" or even "danger to democracy!" They aren't asking to set aside the election; just postpone the Congressional ceremony of accepting the electoral college vote for a few days. Is that so much to ask?
They are quite comfortable in the knowledge they won't get it. They want their opponents to explain why not.
