Will retiring Senators still be there on 1/6
When do the new Senators take office? Who will be the ones on the 6th to contest the electoral votes?

1. the new senate convenes on Jan 20th. good thinking
we should have one of the retiring senators ie. Fritz Hollings or Bob Graham protest the Bush electors.

3. MY thinking!
And I am from South Carolina! I heard an interview with Hollings on NPR the other day and he sounded very frustrated with all of the BS and ready to retire. Anybody want to help with a convincing letter to Senator Hollings???
