In 1800, there was a dispute over the EC votes and Vice President Jefferson made a decision, on his own, to count the votes for himself as president and he won. Had he not done so, he would have lost. So there is precedent for the VP to make a decision and that wasn't the only time.

There was no actual dispute of EVs it was a matter of a defective certificate and no objections were raised. He simply read the only slate from Georgia which was missing some pro-forma language. That is quite a distinction and also done before the Electoral Count Act was codified.
