It’s a joint session. The rules were created last year, I believe. My guess is the rules have merely been copied every four years since 1824. It will be fun to watch.
Thanx for that. Maybe the evidence is presented in the objections?
We’ll probably never hear it unless this would be open to the public - C-Span?
What rules were changed? are we discussing two different things? Sorry if I’m missing something.

I thought the Election count is handled by law?
The elector counts are done in a joint session starting in state alphabetical order.
If there are valid objections, by law each house has to act separately...goes their separate way to debate for 2 hours for every state where there is an objection.
In theory, could all 50 states plus D.C. be contested...then there would be 102 hours of debate?
thanks again...
