Yes. There is a majority of Republicans in both the Pennsylvania house and Senate. It's unlikely any Ds will vote for it, so, I hope both have some great whips and leadership.
26 out of 50 on the senate. They only need 102 in the house. I’m not sure where you’re getting 203 from. 203 is the total number in the house. They only need 102 for majority.
Edit: reread your comment and it seems like I might have misunderstood what you’re saying, I apologize. I’m still going to leave my comment as it may answer someone else’s question.
I is an attempt to nullify PA election results. A resolution to void the result is introduced by 26 PA House Republicans, they need 74 of their colleagues to join them. Then if it is passed then most likely this will be dragged through courts by Dems, and appealed by Reps, up to PA Supreme Court and then SCOTUS.
The resolution effectuates the legislature's reclamation of its power to name electors from the secretary of state, to whom the legislature delegated such power by an act in 1938. This was commonly done in many states around that time. The decision to name electors would follow this resolution at some further point in time, probably after litigation is resolved, specifically the state court case challenging Act 77's introduction of mass mail-in ballots which may be void due to the legislature's failure to complete the state constitutional amendment process.
The power to name electors is specifically provided to the state legislatures via Article 2 Section 1 Clause 2 of the US Constitution.
Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.
Neither the state supreme court nor the state executive branch has any authority over this power belonging to the state legislature.
They have until the 8th to get it. On Monday they're having another public hearing. They're looking to accomplish two things. First, sell this to the public. And two, get the public involved to put pressure on the hold outs.
Come on pedes. Have you actually read the mealy mouth resolution? They disapprove. They declare the election is in dispute. The urge someone else do something about it. There is no resolution for them to do anything about it.
So we only have 26 out if 102 needed in the house?
Do we need a majority of both houses

Only ones with balls. Having balls is in such short supply in the GOP.
you need 102 of them for the majority right?
Yes, in the house. 128 total Republicans need to get on board in PA, if you include the 26 needed from the senate.
There are 113 Republicans in the house, and you need 102 of them. So, 11 can get fucked and it's still ok.
26 of how many total?
203
26 reps introduced resolution. Needs to be voted on by Monday though because they go on recess afterwards.

Technically, can't they come back any time they want, though? They are a legislature. As long as they have a quorum. The rest is procedural.

Yup, no matter what happens, this gets closed in the SCOTUS. That's why ACB was so important.
And DJT picked Justices who were part of Bush V Gore. Time traveler confirmed.

Well the other ones can get on board or they can get fucking primaried in 2022 when the party splits
That’s it??? We need a list of those that won’t and we need to harass the f out of them.

This seems damningly bad. What is going to happen between now and Monday that will help the rest of the needed majority come on?
They have until the 8th to get it. On Monday they're having another public hearing. They're looking to accomplish two things. First, sell this to the public. And two, get the public involved to put pressure on the hold outs.
I mean just because they haven't come out to say this doesnt mean they vote no.
