Under the state constitution the legislature has the power to call for a special session but I don't think they have the votes.

That is my understanding of the conventional theory, as well, they need all R’s and even a few D’s to get to 60%, based on various reports.

But I’ve also heard some legal analysis that said they may only need 51% to open a session under their potentially separate power of the US Constitution.

This would have to go to the US Supreme court if course, but it would almost start there.

They might get the Ds to go along if they also promise to impeach the Governor and the SoS (both Rs) as part of the special session (if they can get to 60%). My understanding is with 51%, The elector issue is pretty much the only business they can do, which is fine. It'll end up in SCOTUS no matter what, but to do nothing means letting the fraudsters win, so why not do it, eh?

I think they'd have a hard time making that case. The 10th Amendment gives that power to the states, and the state incorporated the requirements for calling a special session in their Constitution.

This would have to go to the US Supreme court if course, but it would almost start there.

If the court would hear the challenge.
