The house is a vote per state delegation, not a vote per House Rep. and the Senate votes on the VP, not the President

This is only when no one gets a majority of electoral votes (like a 269-269 tie on election night).

The vote to toss a state's fraudulent electoral votes requires simple majorities in both House and Senate, where they vote by rep and not state. OP is right, we cannot be complacent and allow the bad electoral votes to arrive in the first place.

Sauce: Constitution, Electoral Count Act of 1887 (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title3-section15&num=0&edition=prelim)

The vote for President goes to the House of Reps, where each state's delegation votes en banc, meaning whichever party holds the most seats in each state gets the one vote for that state. Republicans hold 28 over the Democrats 22 states. That means Trump wins.

The Senate votes for the VP and Pence would win there as well.

Its one vote per state delegation and if a Republican majority in legislatures there they have to vote R regardless.

Wouldn't it be a gas if the senate put heels up as Trump's VP?

You’re ignorant of the process Skippy, but I see other Pedes have filled you in. I’m surprised seeing someone still saying this at this point. Hopefully you’re just not another shill spreading disinformation and have learned from the other posters.

Not how it works at all.

No one here knows how it will work this time. Everyone is guessing. Some guesses "seem" to be better than others but as Trump says "We will see." Bottom line, the CCP Democrats will NOT regain control of the WH in 2021.

Pence isn't the only person with the Constitutional authority to count or disallow electors. It depends on whether Pence is available or not. Btw Pence is scheduled to be out of the country for five days starting on the 6th.
