What happens if one or more Senators DO stand up?
Advertisements [?]
I know the Joint Session would break into House and Senate, and discuss for two hours.

But, then what? What are the possible outcomes?

They discuss, then vote whether to accept the Ohio electors?

If they accept, what have we accomplished?

If they reject the Ohio electors (seems highly unlikely given the lockstep Republican unity enforced by The Hammer Tom DeLay), then what would happen?

What is the math of electors required for election?


Are we fighting this just for the two-hour discussion? Is that what is on the line?
