Maybe we can get Mitch McConnell in the Senate.
Right. I remember this from the Al Gore attempt to steal the election. I believe Barabar Boxer objected from the house, but no one joined her from the Senate.
I've posted the salient part of the Constitution below, but it doesn't mention any of this. (Objections to anything.) Someone have the reference to where this law/rule comes from??
US Constitution: Article 2, Section 1: The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each state having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate shall choose from them by ballot the Vice President.
As it is the House of Representatives that certifies presidential elections, I don’t think we need the Senate. As I understand it, the Senate has the responsibility of certifying the VP. Biden’s a shoo-in.
