If (when) our 2 guys win, how soon are they seated with voting powers?

Thinking of tomorrow's electoral showdown.

If Loeffler loses tonight does she still show up to vote against Bidens electors?

Asking since she was appointed to her senate seat.

When's her last day in the Senate if she loses tonight?

If it’s close they will ask for a recount. Maybe court battles.

And of course McConnell will drag his flippers as long as possible.

That’s what they did with Al Franken.

As she was appointed to the seat. Purdue on the other hand is an expired term and therefore is not currently a part of the Senate.

The vote will not be close in the senate or house. Soon enough the Biden/Harris ticket will be certified

13. What does it matter, the effort will fail even if they had the votes from the 2 Georgia Republicans.
