Of course the objections will (unfortunately) fail, as the only thing an objection from at least 1 Senator and 1 Congressional Rep does is to start a debate that is followed by votes in both the House and Senate (separately).
BOTH the Senate and the House have to agree to overturn the votes for a particular state, which will obviously never happen.
Hell, we won’t even get the Senate to overturn the votes for a State.
Mitch is motivated by one simple thing here: avoiding complete and total embarrassment for 45-50 R Senators, all of whom will vote “nay” on overturn.
THAT is what is motivating him if indeed there is any attempt at a “rule change” underway.
“BOTH the Senate and the House have to agree to overturn the votes for a particular state, which will obviously never happen.”
Not remotely close to what has to happen.
First, it matters, first, what is objected TO... that House and Senate will vote on, in an ATTEMPT to come to an agreement on disposing of the objection raised.
There is no “overturning votes” that will be the subject of any objection.
Second, what the objection is MIGHT depend on what Pence presents as a controversy to be resolved... which slate of electors is advanced BY him... to be objected to ?
And, what process may he allow for objections being raised ?
There is still a game afoot, here...
And, that might NOT be the same game for all 50 states ? Pence might “compromise” between warring factions... and advance the fraudulent slate for Arizona and Georgia... but advance the Legislature backed slate for Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin ?
Separately, beyond the issues in how Reps and Sens put themselves on hooks by how they vote... figuring out where the divisions are between House and Senate in how they will vote... is still more relevant in outcome OF the vote... all depending on what is the controversy raised for resolution.
Get ONE instance... of the House and Senate voting differently about ONE controversy... and Trump wins.
And, meanwhile, as the PROOF of the fraud continues to grow... those being asked to participate in the fraud by allowing it... face growing risks. They might well fail in proper analysis of those risks.
I don’t know how the DYNAMIC in revealing the NATURE of that risk will play out ?
I won’t be surprised to see a few more healthy young first term Congressmen or Senators suddenly dropping dead from “corona”.
Unlike the courts... more like the Grand Jury petition... there’s not a mechanism here that allows objections to be IGNORED...
