Well sorta.

One Senator and one Rep to object is the first step. Then it goes to debate - Senate meets and debates, House meets and debates. From there, things can get a bit questionable as to outcome.

Possible for one of the houses of Congress to accept original slate. Possible for one of the houses to accept the alternate slate. Possible for both slates to be rejected. If a slate is rejected, it will most likely be on the grounds that the State certified an incorrect slate.

Also possible the the objection is ignored and the original slate of electors is accepted. This is the automatic Biden win scenario.

Congress gets to make its own rules regarding what slate of electors it accepts. So at the end of the debating, if no one has the 270 electoral votes required, then goes to the House. This is the realistic only path for President Trump to win.

If it goes to the house, each state gets 1 vote and the members of that state are polled for which candidate. 26 States are required (majority) to be selected. This is where President Trump has a lead - IF - you assume that the GOP representatives will vote for the President.

I suspect that unless there is a loud outcry from the GOP voters who let their representatives know that they will be primaried out if they do not support President Trump, that there will not be enough backbone to overturn the steal.

“I suspect that unless there is a loud outcry from the GOP voters who let their representatives know that they will be primaried out if they do not support President Trump, that there will not be enough backbone to overturn the steal.”

And what good would that do as once the mega-steal is a sealed deal, voting in any election from here on forward will not matter one whit.

MAGA =======> KAG
