A senator would have to join a House member in objecting to a state’s slate of votes, and the narrow Republican majority in the Senate would have to stick together to approve the objection. But even if both of those things occurred, the Democratic-held House would not go along, and because both chambers must agree to an objection, the effort would fail.

Got to keep scamming the cult for $$$ for the RNC and tRump's retirement fund. It seems like they enjoy being ripped off. Dumber than dumb.

Maybe after it (inevitably) fails, he'll finally stfu?

Nah, he'll never stfu. But it's nice to dream.

Obviously, the media will cover the count in congress, which will be painfully halted by right-wingnut objection after objection, each followed by an adjournment to debate and overrule, but hopefully, between now and then, the media will stop giving Trump's delusions of victory any attention whatsoever. Even pointing out how baseless they are is spreading his propaganda. (See Don't Think Of and Elephant.)

The only thing about DT worth reporting are his accelerated efforts to destroy the workings of the executive branch, push through sales of our public resources, undermine our systems of justice, damage our environment, and corrupt regulations vital to the protection of the American people. (As if he had not already inflicted massive damage on all these fronts over the past four years.)

We need reports that capture, in simple terms, the magnitude of the damage this wrecking ball of a president is inflicting on us in his final weeks.

After the EC vote today, it will be Congress ratifying the vote and then it will be Inauguration Day and after that they still won't accept it. The myth of the "voter fraud-laden stolen" myth will persist in their fever-addled brains for days, weeks, months, or years to come. And while elected Republicans won't fully embrace it, they will likely give implicit support to it.
