I heard they can object to each and every single elector.... meaning like 15 objections to GA, 30 hours of debates and so on.... is that true?

Not from my understanding...

I believe it goes like this: House and Senate meet together, they go down the list of states in alphabetical order. When they reach a disputed state, they need at least one Congressman and one Senator to object to that slate of electors.

The Senate and House then go to their separate chambers where they can have up to two hours of debate in each chamber, so 2 in the Senate and 2 in the House. Then it gets sticky. Each member who wishes to take the floor can speak no more than 5 minutes. It is unclear if members are allowed to yield their time to another Senator - or Congressman - in which case, there will be far less than 2 hours in the Senate, if true. 12 Senators who wish to debate and show evidence x 5 minutes each = don't make me do math in my head.

Then both chambers meet again and they continue down the list until they hit another disputed state, and so on.

There are rumors that McConnel and Pelosi are trying to change some rules in order to suppress what evidence is allowed to be presented by the members. This is important not only because it is an attempt to hide evidence from We The People but also because anything presented/said during the debate portion becomes a part of the official Congressional Record.

That's my take on it, but don't quote me for fact cause I'm just a Pede. :D
