@5:30 in the video is where you want to go. Patriot Gohmert is simply trying to clear the decks for Pence by adjudicating the 1887 electoral vote act so that there are no challenges to Pence's decision on Jan 6th. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have to, Article 2 and the 12th Amendment already govern, but it could be a matter of being safe instead of sorry.
