“After the Electoral Votes are counted in a Joint Session of Congress, the Chair of the Joint Session (the VPOTUS) will ask if there are any objections. Such objections will have to be in writing and signed by at least one Senator and one Representative. The Senator and Representative signing the objection do not even have to be from the state in question. Objections to Electoral Votes can either be against one Vote at a time, or for an entire state.”

Where, pray tell, is this allowed by the Constitution?

I’m sure this is federal law. However, federal law that is not pursuant to the Constitution is NOT the law of the land and is invalid (Art VI, Cl 2).

Wonder what is the historical genesis (genius?) of this law.

Most likely it is the Amendment XII process whereby the Joint Session "counts" the votes. The logical extension of that would be the validity of those votes.

That's probably why no objection has ever been sustained in the history of the Republic.

You know the Rats will object just to have it on the record. Whether it will be more than a token for one elector or for one state, or for all the states that Stein tried to recount remains to be seen.
