“the ‘RAT senate (which is ruthless, unlike the neutered republican senates we have had) can vote not to accept the electoral college vote”
That’s not exactly so.
They can object to the legitimacy of an elector only under 1 (or more) of 2 conditions:
1. The electors of the State were not lawfully certified under a certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors according to section 5(a)(1).
2. The vote of one or more electors has not been regularly given.
Then each House must sustain the objection as valid, and that elector’s vote will not be counted.
These are fairly objective standards. Despite the blatant thievery that has gone in previous elections, there has always been an effort by Democrats to argue that fraud did not occur rather than merely saying it did but you can’t do anything about it.
Further, to reject the electoral votes would be to do the exact thing they said Trump doing would be illegal.
I don’t think even the Democrats would attempt to reject electoral votes with an obvious, public, blatant lie. But we’ll see.
