Republicans plot attempt to deny Biden presidency on House floor

[onenote]

14. Typical Raw Story hyperbole

The Republicans plan to exercise their statutory right to object to counting certain states' votes. When they do, their objections will be voted on separately by the House and Senate. To actually accept the objection, both houses have to approve it. That won't happen because the House will reject each objection. The Senate might do so as well.

The Republicans know that they can't actually deny Biden th presidency. They're just doing this to grandstand for the asshole in the White House.

It won't impact the outcome but there is one interesting scenario that could arise. The Senate will b 50-48 when the votes are counted (I'm assuming that the Georgia special election won't be finalized and certified in one day). I expect a few Senate Republicans not to go along with the objections. At very least, I don't see Romney going along. It would be amusing (albeit highly unlikely) if the vote in the Senate ended up 49-49, and Pence has to cast a deciding vote -- to keep up his cred with the Trumpers, he'll have to vote to uphold the objection, no matter how unseemly that will be.
