I dont think so.
If federal elections are contested, that includes Senate re runs too.

Grassley is in place and is not up for reelection. Check out the duties of the office of Senate Pres Pro Tempore.

Well keep our communist Austin / Houston values out of my very conservative home, then. If we’re accusing people of being something they aren’t because of other people who live in their state

You are so provincial Jerseyite, Texas will vote for Trump. Yes I am being a bit insulting, but the point being is that you live in Jersey and pontificating that Trump will lose because of your local "Karen's" in Jersey.

Jersey has been a lost cause for conservatives the last 30 years.

So instead of attacking me in Texas, maybe trying to convince your neighbor "soccer mom's"(aka Karen's) that they should vote for Trump.

I didn't say anything about Trump losing. But whatever, I guess in your view people who live in NJ aren't even Americans anymore and just don't matter.

By the way, not sure you noticed but Trump is from New York City. Since you are clearly ignorant of east coast politics let me point out that where I live, South Jersey, is the republican part of NJ. We send GOP congressmen to DC but we can't override the more populous North Jersey, which is full of commies from NYC. NYC, where Trump is from, is way, way more leftist than where I live. So write him off too I guess.

If federal balloting is not certified in CA, then Pelosi is not reelected.
She is out of office on 3 January.

Not sure what happens if some states certify their results but not all do...whether just part of the country can decide the election.

If a US Pres and VP have not been certifiably elected by 6 January, and if Pelosi is not certified as reelected...the line of succession is Grassley and Pompeo. The US by law must have a President by that date.

So let the dems try mayhem and chaos. It may not work the way they think it will. Meanwhile lets hope the California GOP is learning vote harvesting.

You are a true anti-Trumper. Trump has made his official residence in Florida. Go ahead and listen to the anti-Trumps cackler neighbors in liberal, debt ridden Jersey.

True. So that means come January 2, 2021 there will be 33 Democrats, 2 Independents who caucus with the Democrats, and 30 Republicans in the Senate. Majority party chooses the President Pro Tem.

As I said, the President Pro Tem serves until another is chosen. The majority party chooses who fills that office. Come January 2nd it will be the Democrats.

The Congress certifies the electoral votes. There is no central authority of the electoral college.

I know there were no presidential elections in 1974. I was giving an example of how the GOP was obliterated in the mid-term election of 1974 after Watergate. Same thing will happen if Michelle Obama runs as VP. People will soundly repudiate and reject the GOP, and we will lose in a historic landslide, not just the WH, but also Congress.

There are 23 Republicans up for election this year and 12 Democrats. If the new senators are not sworn in then on January 2nd there will be 30 Republican senators, 33 Democrat Senators, and 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats. Democrats are the majority, they chose the President Pro Tem, they chose the next president.

Why should whitey be scared. They are 13% of the population.

Boy, they have some people really scared.

Everything else went to hell this year, I can see some real BS coming this fall.

Exactly...That why the Democrats are pushing the idea that Trump will protest the election results...They know that what they're up to won't be legitimate...
