It seems to be saying that when Pence counts the votes, objections can be made and must be signed by one Senator and one member of the House of Representatives.

Then the Senate and the HoR withdraw for a vote on whether the state electoral vote in question is a lawful vote by the legal elector.

If the Senate votes no (saying that vote was not lawful due to fraud) but the House of Representative votes yes, then the electoral vote stands.

If I'm understanding this correctly, then we never reach the desired goal of each state casting one vote for President because the House will never agree to toss any vote that is objected to.

if the two Houses shall disagree in respect of the counting of such votes, then, and in that case, the votes of the electors whose appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the State, under the seal thereof, shall be counted.

I understand Trump can’t reveal his plans for strategic reasons, but it also feels like an absence of leadership to leave his supporters in limbo. I’m seeing so many people who had recently become red-pilled now losing faith and moving on. Trump is really out of time and waiting until Jan 6th seems like a losing approach. Decisive action and enforcement of the law isn’t too much to ask.

Agreed. He should be able to say something more than essentially tweeting, "I won! Not fair!" I love my president, but I'm currently disappointed and have to hope that there's a reason that will become clear later for what is going on. But that hope isn't easy to maintain as each day goes by with no sign of anything happening.
