3. It accomplishes nothing other than an attack on democracy.

If any number of Rethuglican's sign on to the protest, they will establish a precedent where every Presidential election will be challenged in the Congress.

The first time both houses of Congress are controlled by the opposing party from the winner of the election, the Electoral College vote will be set aside. At that point, the Presidential election will be a quadrennial exercise in futility.
