At this rate they are going to have to cut counting for 8 hours.
The disaster scenario:
The House goes Dem. They take their seats Jan 3, 3 days before Jan 6. That majority may try to deny the counting on Jan 6 based on whatever rationale. There will be a handful of Dem members reluctant to do this, but there may be some GOPe members willing to help.
The Senate may stay Dem but with the same margin of 1. To support refusal to seat the new President, they would need 60 votes. Unless they trigger the nuclear option that says a bare majority is all required, and if there is any issue that could get that support it would be this one. Manchin and Sinema are the current obstacles to that, but they will be gone.
With a declaration that Trump is ineligible, they could seat the 2nd place candidate, Biden.
It’s a very steep mountain for them to climb, but that would be the mechanism — or perhaps the mechanism that SHOULD have been used in 2020 — where state legislators decide which electors are valid, and Michigan, Pennsylvania have Dem legislatures.
The upside to criminal elections is that we don’t have to pretend we care about what Frank Luntz thinks.
