Could the events leading up to January 6th Congressional acceptance of the electoral votes bring any light to how those votes would be counted and whether a challenge to those votes could succeed?
The best case scenario is very appealing and could be orchestrated, but it depends on the strength of the evidence. Given the right evidence, an Open-and-Shut case, that could change the election with a very legitimate finality, could happen in just one day. This best case would involve both Ohio and Florida, the unveiling of undeniable evidence that would convince just 20 Republicans Senators and Congresspeople beyond a shadow of a doubt, and all this could happen before the scheduled recess of congress on today.
That scenario would, of course, be the best also considering the incredible blow to the American people a protracted partisan struggle would create. However given the stakes for those in power, this case could be the the only thing standing between a true and false democracy.
Reasonably there would be resistance, in the form of an immediate recess until the next day at 10 am. However, according to US law, this process of delay could not go on for more than five calendar days, or Tuesday January 11th.
Sometime in the next six days we should know one way or the other.
