U.S. Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told The Kyle Olson Show this week that a senator will object to the electoral college vote, which will trigger debates and votes in both the House and Senate next week.
In a segment that will air on Michigan radio stations Saturday — the day before her wearing in — Greene said a number of representatives will object to the electoral votes from six states on January 6.
Greene said she reviewed affidavits from witnesses in states like Michigan and called President Donald Trump to say she wanted to meet with him and any of his aides who had “legitimate evidence of voter fraud” and they met at the White House for nearly four hours.
“We refuse to certify a stolen election,” she said. “As members of Congress, it’s our duty to protect the integrity of our elections.”
She said a senator will join them, though she declined to name him or her. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said Wednesday that he would object.
“I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws,” Hawley, a former state attorney general, said in a news release.
On Tuesday, Rep.-elect Ronny Jackson (R-TX) said he, too, would object:

I know there was talk, but did any of these State Legislatures actually Send a New Slate of Electors to the Congress?? Because if they DO, Pence has to COUNT the Ones sent by the Legislature and disregard whatever the Governor or SOS sent in.
Cut the crap-how many Senators?
I recall that there were 6 sets of opposite/opposing/protest electoral votes sent. One set came from NV.
Unless Mitch and the person whose euphemism rhymes with that, pull
off a block of such things.
The operating theme these days is, “If it’s Constitutional,
block it!”
Mitch is turning heavily to the dark side.
Senator Palpatine perhaps?
I don’t believe any of the “alternate” sets of electors were certified by the respective state legislature.
There’s been some debate on that, but so far, I haven’t seen any hard proof of any state certifying a second set of “alternate” electors.
I realize this is from the NYT, but meshes with everything I’ve heard and read to this point.

Interesting.
Isn't it also true that those five state legislatures didn't certify or send Biden electors?
If true let’s roll...
No. Every state has submitted certified electors. And if you count the certified vote (which is the only option under the Constitution, with Pence having ZERO power to insert his personal or our opinion into the mix), Biden "wins" handily.
At this point, "it is what it is". It's over.
These are the future of the R party. The rest can lose their jobs.
Only takes one senator to object, but it'll take 50 to uphold the objection. Right now I don't see where the 50 votes are.
The states did. I believe Nevada is the only one where the legislature signs off on certification. In all the other states it was the Secretary of State or state boards of Election Commissioners, or something like that.

When you say "state", you mean what? You mean governors, not the legislatures, right?

Yes I think that's correct.
So then it's true that both set of electors (Biden's and Trump's) in those five states weren't sent by those five state legislatures.
Strictly speaking that's true I suppose. But only one set of electors, Biden's, was appointed in such a manner as the legislature thereof may direct. The other slate was pretty much self appointed.
It was the 1937 legislature in PA that "directed" that the governor, based on the popular vote, "appoint" the slate of electors.
However past assemblys cannot pass laws that abridge the constitutional rights of future assemblys.
So for example, what if, in Pa, the 17 assembly members who recently signed off on the 200K surplus study, asserted their constitutional rights? What if they certified a slate of electors and sent it to the VP?
