forth between the Senate and House to vote
This could take hours
They are also are suppossed to have evidence in order to contest
VP Pence has also released a statement per CNN that he would NOT interfere with the electoral votes, and has stated he doesn't have the authority
He just threw trump under the bus, by that statement which is the right thing to do

(15,009 posts)Could go faster... Especially after the first objection gets tossed, and it's just a repeat of the same old shit.
Especially once they get past NV, at which point the remaining "swing" states (PA, WI) aren't enough to avoid Biden getting 270.

(15,290 posts)8 states, then about an hour ago, I heard 3 states. I'll bet they challenge 1, have their individual discussions/votes, the Rs make their statements, then it will fizzle out.

(15,290 posts)All the Senate Rs are going to want to make a statement, then the objection will be voted down and no one will want to have more groundhog days.
