1) Just finished a discussion with a pro-Trump congressional source on procedures. Very high.

2) On Jan. 6, all that is needed is 1 senator (Hawley) and 1 Congressman (Brooks) to bring an objection to an elector slate (almost certainly AZ, since that will be the first contested.— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) December 30, 2020

9) According to the source, the Trump goal was to get the fraud debated in session.

10) However, the House will not debate. It will toss the objection in 30 seconds.

11) The Senate "may" take up to 2 hours to debate.

12) In the end, the certified slates will be accepted.— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) December 30, 2020

18) But say the senate miraculously comes up with 51 votes to toss the AZ certified slate.

The House has already voted to accept it. Tie goes to the runner. The House & Senate have to be in agreement to reject a certified slate.— Larry Schweikart (@LarrySchweikart) December 30, 2020

The Trump team knows all this too, so they won't bother with it if it can't work.

Mr. Schweikart does not have all the information.

>>However, the House will not debate. It will toss the objection in 30 seconds.<<
and spend the rest of the two hours playing spades...? If someone wants to debate, do they have to?

3) The rules are made by the previous congress; the laws already in place bind the procedures.

4) Pence has no authority on his own to accept or reject any slate. According to source, he will turn to the Parliamentarian for a ruling on how to proceed.

Not sure this is correct. The rules are codified in Title 3, Chapter 1. Pence has to open all presented slates - certified and not certified.

15) Remember, we very well may NOT have the to GA seats filled, so the final numbers might be 49 Ds (Kelly seated now, Hickenlooper on Jan. 3 ) & only 49 Rs with recounts holding up the 2 GA seats.

If a count or recount doesn't call a winner in GA before 01/06/2021, Loeffler is still the Senator and should be at that vote. She was appointed to a seat that doesn't expire until 2022

19)...The delegation vote is employed if no one has 270 electoral votes. For the votes on objections, it's by simple majority.
not 270 - constitution says a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed. It gets dicey when a slate gets rejected. Is it still a majority of 570 or a majority of 570 minus the rejected slate?
