    My bad, I thought that they went state-by-state and that it required a House member and Senate member from that state to challenge. Welp, this will be even more of **** show now.

    That was what I thought at first weeks ago too as it makes more sense

    Bottom line - there are a lot of issues with the electoral process in the constitution. It was not designed to protect against a coup like this

    What if the Republicans had the majority in the House? They could then easily throw out an election if all the Republicans went along with it.

    I remember, like, maybe 10 or so House Dems who tried objecting in 2016, but no Senator joined them and Biden gaveled them down. No doubt this is going to be worse.

    You guys have this backwards... Non R's should WANT a debate (private) and vote (public) on this.... I do....

    It cannot succeed, based on the numbers, but everybody will be ON THE RECORD as supporting sedition..

    Schumer and Co should be working on a method to make this happen, in case no R Senator comes forward...

    Sad, who lied to you about how the process works? Trump?

    Pence is the scorekeeper. Al Michaels doesn't decide who wins football games. Some of you have utterly failed Civics.

    So I assume you’re endorsing Dems doing the same if they lose in 2024? Harris just picks who she wants?

    Thank you for the reminder that this was the goal of this illegal plot. I’m glad these idiots involved were indicted….
