i need help

If one representative and one senator object on Jan 6, what happens?

I read about the 2 hours of debate and evidence being shown - hopefully publicly - but then What?

And I read that at some point each state gets a vote, but not each representative. And the GOP has the majority of States. does that mean the state legislators vote then?

But when does that vote happen? And how is it related to the objections?

And who is it that votes? I don’t think it’s state legislatures but it’s something to do with by each state. I could be wrong.... since as you see here, I don’t know anything.

I’d start by reading everything you can on the Ruthaford B Hayes election then read all the laws that happened after that including US v Hollingsworth. The re read the twelfth amendment — Then read Art of War.
Ignore all supposition and attacks on known conservatives stick with known US history.
The goal of the deep state is to destroy our country so they are sowing doubt about conservative leaders in ALL branches of the government. If you don’t know which ones just read the TT to see who has been attacked.
Unless you can produce an actual fact do not repeat the accusations. They are designed to disrupt and divide us. They weaken our great nation.

https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/explaining-how-congress-settles-electoral-college-disputes This is the best thing I’ve found so far that explains it, since there’s a lot of ‘it depends’ involved.

If an objection meets these requirements, the joint session recesses and the two houses separate and debate the question in their respective chambers for a maximum of two hours,” the CRS said. “The two houses then vote separately to accept or reject the objection. They then reassemble in joint session, and announce the results of their respective votes. An objection to a state’s electoral vote must be approved by both houses in order for any contested votes to be excluded.”

It also talks about the ‘second set of electors’ but states that a state legislature would have to send a second set to trigger that. None of the state legislatures have done so; it was done by the Republican electors themselves, best I remember.

Upon an objection by a Senator and a Congressman to a state’s Electors the two Houses (Senate and House) then retire and debate for up to two hours.

This is NOT a debate by state delegations (that only happens if the election is undecided) it is a straight majority decision and the outcome in the House will be whatever Pelosi wishes since she has the majority (unless she doesn’t because of the virus- that would be interesting!)
Nay go better in the Senate. May not.

By law, but not by the Constitution, if the two Houses disagree then the state’s electoral slate is accepted.
