I watched the video. I am confused on one point. In the Joint Session of Congress when there is an objection by a House member and a Senator, the houses vote separately on whether to accept the electors. Is the House vote by member or by state?

I understand if neither candidate receives a majority and the 12th Amendment kicks in the House votes for President on a state basis.

Just not sure how the House votes when considering whether to accept the electors. Is it on a member basis or state basis?

We don’t have two “houses” of Congress. We have two “chambers”: The House of Representatives, and the Senate.
