(166,121 posts)Each state controls its own certifications, so there will not be some "blanket" lack of election certification.
The scenario that is being presented is not taking into account that all-red and all-blue states will be "certified" and the "issue" would apparently only be something that might happen to "swing" states that have GOP infestations in terms of red state legislatures and/or SOS with a blue governor.
But even then, does everyone have amnesia about the time it took to get a SOH that finally ended up being Kevin McCarthy in January 2023?
The CLERK ran the House over the entire time until McCarthy was elected as SOH after 4 days and 15 votes, and then McCarthy could swear in the rest of the House.
Before that time, there were no "sworn-in" members of Congress until the SOH was elected and could then swear them in.
