They can only delay for a few hours for each state they reject. Then both houses go debate (for only a few hours) then house/senate must BOTH reject the state's electors.
The best this would do is delay half a day and make it appear that the republicans did something.
Correct- however, the VP can also choose to intervene and toss out electors.
I do agree that this is more of a firewall/last resort. There's still several other paths to victory, and a true nuclear option would be invoking Directive 51. I hope it doesn't get to that, but I'd rather have that as opposed to a compromised president rigged in to serve China.
A Pence block would be dangerous and probably lead to the House voting for Biden. Only exception is if we reach the point of everyone agreeing that there was egregious fraud and it was too late to fix the electors.
How does the Perdue/Loeffler runoff factor here? Currently there's a 52/48 majority, but doesn't their terms technically end before a vote would happen on January 6? That'd make it 48/50.
If anything, I appreciate it for simply being a show of support for the truth. So many Republicans are staying silent or bowing out, even if it has no power in the process, standing up for what's right means something.
Dont be. GA and NV are locks for Trump to either flip or at least pull from Biden's total. The evidence brought out yesterday is staggering. Almost as good in WI and AZ. PA and MI have such staggering amounts of fraud I'm not sure Scalia could unwind them, so probably the best we can hope for there is for the electors to be declared compromised. Trump is either going to win in the EC or a House vote, barring a serious lack of Republican spine. Which is why this post is important. Brooks is show people the way. If others see there is hope, they will move in the right direction too.
If at least one congressmen and at least one senator oppose, Congress have to debate elections for two hours and then vote on it. To invalidate the results there needs to be a majority both in the House and in the Senate. So that's not going to happen. Additionally, speaker of the house has some means of railroading the whole process.
The only real option now is to get enough States to not certify electors (electors, not elections). Or to get judicial remedies enjoining the certification of electors.
But I'm afraid we may not have enough time left.
my understanding is that if 1 house member and 1 senator objects to a state certification there needs to be some kind of session and vote on whether to accept that certification.
So if one assume that said session does not change anyone's minds, this will just put a few hours pause on the process.
Yes he does and we just need a single Senator to do the same and Congress then has a big task ahead of them.

The VP does not have to accept a contested state's results.
Really hope someone like Rand will pull through
Gaetz is not a Senator though, he's a Rep in the house.
Hopefully Rand Paul sees it as an opportunity for revenge after he and his wife were attacked by Antifa goons following the RNC.
It’s our best chance.
You need 51 Senators to vote to sustain the objection.
We've got too many Rinos and need to win the elections in Georgia.

Scotus
State legislatures
Insurrection act
Pence refusal
Contingent election
There are many options

You joined 10 fucking days ago and have done nothing but post doomer shit. You are a LARPer.
how's that "rely on scotus any anyone who disagrees is a doomer larper" taste now, shitbrain?
ok
It is a blockbusting power that no doubt the left will try to circumvent through all nefarious means.
Go doesn’t determine. If we can’t get the Dem house to agree then it gets reverted to the original EC vote
VP determines if they can keep the electoral votes!!??
So they won't vote on it?
If no candidate receives 270, doesn't it go to the house per state then first?

It will be the new congress, with the barest of bare Dem majority in the House.
