67. Actually, I think that 2 Democrats should attend

With that many missing members there would not be a quorum. And even a Joint session cannot be held if there is not a quorum.

So, only 2 Democrats. One to make a 'Quorum Call' and the other to second it.

Let Trump give his mis-be-gotten word salad on the Capitol steps.
