Because a recount changed the outcome, Hawaii’s Republican governor sent certificates for both slates.
Doubtful challenging electors will succeed.

[see starting bottom of page 8]
... When the two houses disagree, then the statute states that the votes of the electors whose appointment was certified by the governor of the state shall be counted...
It cost nothing and may be a legal way to obtain standing should investigations of fraud prove to be true.
That said, anything done which keeps the charges of fraud out in front of the public is positive.
She has the same argument as the “Suckers and Losers” news few months ago.
And all the Democrats, including Biden run on this! I heard this thousand time on TV, there were even campaign signs like that. Biden mentioned it in the debate, I think.
So if I have to believe “Suckers and Losers” then I must believe Maria.
Yes. Trump did really win the 2020 election.
BINGO!
What are you accusing me of lying about?
You could offer to refute my contention with facts, but you cannot.
Initially it appeared Republican candidate Richard Nixon had won in the state, as he was 141 votes ahead after the first count.[2] A court-ordered recount was still underway when Hawaii’s Republican governor signed the certificate from the GOP electors giving the state’s three electoral votes to Nixon.[2] On the same day, the Democratic electors also issued a certificate awarding the votes to Kennedy.[3] The final recount showed Kennedy had actually prevailed, forcing the governor to sign the second certificate from the Democratic electors, although there is no evidence the governor actually signed the second certificate.[4] Both certificates had arrived in Washington by the time Congress convened in January 1961, with then-Vice President Nixon charged with presiding over a joint session to certify his own election loss. Hearing no objections,[4] Nixon ordered the Democratic certificate counted and ignored the accompanying Republican certificate,[2] even though it also bore the governor’s signature as required by federal law.

50 governors and 538 Electors say Biden won.
Their votes count.

True, Trump and a few Republican Senate candidates won.
LOL.

Yes, you are correct.
Only 306 electors and their respective governors.
On the other hand, the US Supreme Court in the recent Texas case essentially ruled that election laws DO NOT have to be followed, so Pence can IGNORE that statute.
Yep. Traitors to the Constitution. Lying, cheating, harmful people have taken the reins, and they aren't going to give them up without a fight.

This is one of those pieces of statutory law that is there for one purpose - to fool the public.
There are statutes that say Congress must produce certain spending legislation by such-and-so time. They often fail to meet the law, which of course only applies to Congress. There is no penalty, there is no statutory remedy. Just an instruction. A wish.
Now, I am not saying that Congress won't use its instruciton to itelf to claim it is bound, BOUND by the rule of law. I'm just pointing out that this particular rule of law has the same force as a grocery shopping list, no matter what those lying schmucks in Congress have to say about it.
For as little as the courts want to get involved regardless of the facts, Pence as pres of the Senate could probably do whatever he wants no questions asked in the counting.
You knew the truth and lied anyway: agitprop lies. You should ask the moderator to delete your admitedly false and inflamatory post.
No wonder Maria brings in the big bucks — breaking this incredible story. Trump really won. Who knew?
He won.
Do we need to draw you a picture???
