and House member can object. Then both parts of congress have a vote and take up the matter. In order to reject the electors, they must have both sides of Congress agree...and that won't happen. I simple majority is all that is needed. It happened during the Bush V Gore election. And took about 20 minutes. This crew will no doubt take lots of time (GOP) speechifying and acting like assholes...but at the end of the day...it will fail. They may not even get a Senator to do it.
