I think there is a more specific, but interesting, point to make.

Ok, decertify the election. But at the Federal level there are no do-overs. There is nothing in federal law that can overturn the constitutional process.

At the federal *executive* level, the Electoral College voted and Congress accepted the vote. There are no do-overs for the election of the President.

At the Senate level, it's not so straight-forward. One the one hand, the Constitution says that each chamber is the judge of its election results. If Georgia were to decertify its election based on incontrovertible proof of forged ballots, they can try to enforce that decertification by declaring their Senate seats vacant. On the other hand, Chuck Schumer may refuse to accept the decertification and say that the Georgia Democrats stay in the Senate regardless of losing their elections by stating that the Senate accepts the Georgia election results, even if Georgia itself does not.

Harris first, then Biden appoints Trump. Then Biden immediately resigns.

Biden appointing Trump to the VP spot does not make him VP. He would still have to receive a majority vote from the House and the Senate, and neither Pelosi nor Schumer would let that happen.

No shit really? I did not think I needed to get through the entire thing step by step. What do you think the House committee vote would be on a Trump VP nomination.

Are you this pedantic with your friends?

The Senate is not going to over turn the election. Period. Do you think Harris is going to break a tie?
