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?

No, I'm not being pedantic.

I separating the Presidential election from the Senate election because there are two different mechanics at play.

I wanted to introduce the idea of a state decertifying a Senate election and declaring the seat vacant, which is wholly different from trying to overturn a Presidential election.

This would set up a Constitutional crisis if a state deems a seat to be vacated and a governor moves to appoint a replacement, and the Senate opposing the move by refusing to acknowledge the decertification. A Senate vote on the matter would be moot until SCOTUS decides on whether a state has the power to decertify an election for a federal office if intentional and systemic fraud was proven to have altered the results.

This would also set up a media conflict when the two Georgia Senators vote to keep their ill-gotten seats if it is proven that their elections were tainted, and the media backs them anyway because they are Democrats. In that case, the media would begin a program of brow-beating Republicans into accepting the election results rather than reporting on the fraudulent wins by Democrats.
