Yeah, for the contest to succeed both the house and senate need to vote to overturn the electors from a state. The constitution says that congress gets to write their own rules of proceedings and so they passed a bunch into federal law.
One of them says that if congress doesn't vote in both chambers to overturn a slate of electors that the electors certified by a governor are the ones that count.
They might be trying to institute a dispute, and then challenge it at the supreme court?
I'm really not sure if that will work, but I hope they can pull it off.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if Trump doesn't get majority, the opposition would still need to get majority otherwise it goes off to a 1 Vote per State decision which Trump wins easily.
The "Trump wins easily" line is by no means accurate.
He should win, but how many House Republicans will stab Trump in the back one more time? It doesn't take that many.
Case in point: Liz Cheney is the at large rep for Wyoming. Her vote will determine the entire Wyoming state delegation vote. She's been pretty adamant that Biden won and there's no fraud so Trump must concede. Who do you think she'd vote for?
It only takes a handful of strategically placed RINOs and Biden can win the House vote.
You seem to think the number of states a candidate won during the general election translates to state votes in the House vote. It doesn't.
Trump won Wyoming handedly in the election. He would lose Wyoming in a House vote because only one person is voting for the entire state, Liz Cheney, who will vote for Biden.
Each state House delegation votes amongst themselves, then the winner of that vote gets one vote from that state. Trump would win a party line vote because the Rs will have the majority of House reps in 30 states, but the GOP can't be trusted not to betray us once again.
dont we need like a majority to contest the election. it's a good plan, but we need swamp drainage more importantly.
biden is compromised. no excuses for intelligence community being awol.
guarantee some fuck hole senator or congressmen cop out. they got corporate constituents.

This stimulus bill is the payoff.
In which direction?

I was specifically noting that Trump wins a state run-off because he has 27 of the states.
He has an uphill battle to get to that scenario, for sure.

No. The law is ambiguous and there are many opinions on what can happen. One says Pence can discard what he wants as the president of the senate
We need 50 senators. We have like 5. Not gonna happen.
No we don’t
Well TIL. How many do we need?
The law is very ambiguous regarding this. There are many scenarios that could play out. I’ll do a quick summary
Pence as president for the senate can reject fraudulent slates of electors
The house votes per state in objection to the electorates (Jenna Ellis backs this)
If the house votes for us ^ and the senate does not there is some belief that it then goes to Pence
