I didn’t say they weren’t “actionable.” I said he didn’t have the unilateral authority to act upon them.

Under the applicable Federal statute (which is almost certainly unconstitutional, but that’s a different matter), any objections to electoral votes are to be acted upon in Congress on the day of the formal process for counting the electoral votes.

There were a number of formal objections raised in Congress during that January 6th session. None of them went anywhere. They all failed miserably. Only two of them — Arizona and Pennsylvania — could even meet the minimal threshold required (at least one objector from each house of Congress) to have Congress vote on the objection.

My recall was there was a desire that state legislatures make decisions, and the legislatures had GOP leadership, which was usually GOPe.

This was the true revealing. They rec’d their marching orders from elsewhere. They challenged nothing.

Situation normal, basically.
