Isnt one of the reasons for the 12th is an alternative way to elect the Pres/VP if for some reason states cant certify?

I am asking, I am not sure.

Regardless of whether a state is blue or red, if there was a combination of legitimate reasons not to certify and then red states pile on? Virginia being an example of a legitimate situation.
