This is where it gets good. The House/Congress votes on who the President will be. It has nothing to do with what party that has power. Every state gets one vote and 30 states are held by Republicans / 19 by Democrats

You're almost right - close, but, as Bill would say, no cigar.

In order for the House to elect the President, the Special Joint Session of Congress on January 6 must first count the Electoral votes and certify that no one has a majority.

In the Special Joint Session, they DON'T vote by States, every Member and every Senator has one vote.

The votes in the Special Joint Session (presuming straight party line voting, we know Romney will vote for Biden) would be 50 + 223 Democrats and 50 + 213 Republicans, so all Electoral Vote challenges will be ruled in Biden's favor.

Once the Special Joint Session gives him 270, the House is out of the picture because a President will have been elected.

The above analysis presumes that the Democrats will steal both Georgia Senate seats.

Thanks for the insightful analysis. Appreciate it.

As I understand it, the popular vote in a given state is a trinket. It is the legislature of a given state that chooses that state’s slate of electors.

When do the House and Senate get sworn in?

It looks like Congress may not have 223 democrats. If they manage to maintain their majority it could be by 6 or less. GOP has made gains and is leading in 20 of 24 races not yet called. Thats why the dems are pissed with Nancy, She may get dumped as Speaker regardless of who wins...all GOP and a handful of dems

Senate numbers which are going to be affected by the voting results in several contested states like MI, GA ....hopefully not NC
I can’t believe even a pos like Romney would go against his party here, esp for such a ravaged unsuitable man.

While these AGs argue on election law...not actual fraud...if ballots are stopped at 8pm in PA Trump should win PA and will set a precedent for other states where election officials did not follow their state law as written

Not exactly either -

"The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes (electors votes from state legislatures) 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 chuse by Ballot one of them for President; "

I bet Bill Clinton is crying over that lost cigar. ;)

What a perv. The Dems are the party of sick people.
