With President Donald Trump refusing to concede defeat, even after the electoral vote, and some lawmakers still in the mood to challenge the results, the day Congress opens up the electoral votes and counts them offers another chance for defiant Republicans to make headlines.
UK Professor Joshua Douglas says lawmakers can lodge an objection. An objection requires both a member of the House and a member of the Senate to provide a written objection to a particular state s Electoral College votes, Douglas explains. If that occurs, each chamber would retire to their own floors to debate for two hours and then vote on whether to accept or reject the votes from that state. So it s possible that that happens, but it won t change the outcome.

US President Donald Trump and Republican allies are turning up the pressure on the Supreme Court in an election assault.
With his legal options dwindling and time running out before a key electoral college deadline, US President Donald Trump ramped up pressure on the Supreme Court to help overturn Joe Biden s victory, gaining the support of more than 100 congressional Republicans in the unprecedented assault on the US election system. In a morning tweet, Trump called on the court to save our Country from the greatest Election abuse in the history of the United States, repeating his baseless claims of widespread fraud. He had a private lunch at the White House with some of the attorneys general from 18 Republican-led states asking the court to dismiss the results in four swing states that Biden won, an effort supported by the Trump administration.
