[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the timeline for the Electoral College. There’s so many people involved who could gum up the process.

All controversies for tabulating votes must be resolved by December 8. So the timeline is even shorter.

https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/key-dates

Individuals involved in Electoral College voting:
Secretary of State to certify votes
Governor to authorize Certificates of Ascertainment
Electors selected by winning political party to vote on Dec 14
President of Senate and National Archivist receive Electoral College votes before transfer to the House Clerk
VPOTUS, as President of Senate, presides over counting the EC votes
One House member and one Senate member can object to the vote. House & Senate would withdraw to consider objections
VPOTUS would need to declare the winner of Electoral College

No way in hell Republicans will allow this to go forward.[/quote]

[i]January 6, 2021—Congress counts the electoral votes
Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes. [b]The Vice President, as President of the Senate, presides over the count and announces the results of the Electoral College vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.[/b]

If any objections to the electoral votes are made, they must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and one Senator. If objections are presented, the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider the merits of the objection(s) under procedures set out in Federal law.[/i]
