Not Wisconsin?
CSPAN youtube must be on delay, they just did Delaware

It is done alphabetically.
By that point, in the alphabetical count, Biden will already be over 270 electoral votes, so it’d be even less effective than the other ineffective challenges.
Wisconsin would be 100% unadulterated grandstanding, since Biden would have enough votes by the time they got to it. Which means of course they’ll still object.
Loeffler was the only one who would have.
It’s actually about 500+ more deaths.
Hawley specifically said he had problems with PA so he feels committed to raising the objection. But apparently he’s not going to speak against the electors and they’re going to go straight to a vote in the Senate.
Georgia’s not on anybody’s mind?
It’s on Hoagy Carmichael’s mind, certainly.
Brit Hume tweeted that it will probably turn out that the riots were caused by antifa.
Did I hear that correctly? Did Pence just get a faithless elector vote?
ETA: sorry - that was Maine. split votes.
Maine votes by Congressional district rather than the whole state. There’s almost always one Republican elector.
Nebraska does the same thing, and there’s almost always one Democratic elector.
what? cite?

Objection to Michigan.
It was until today. What a fucking day. Got up only hoping to see certainty that we won Georgia. An excuse to call up the Great Ray Charles.
Seems to me this objection thing is nearly as dicey as asking if anyone objects at a wedding.
“The objection cannot be entertained.” -MI
Hahaha objection DENIED
History is littered with smart demagogue-dictators who took power despite their predecessors being punished. If they get their hands on the levers of power they don’t say “gee I better not do anything criminal because I might be punished when I lose the next election”. They just make sure there is no next election (that they can lose).
Look at any failed state. Once the cycle starts, the stakes of losing office become so high no one ever goes voluntarily, which means they don’t go except involuntarily and then the price they pay is so high that the next guy is even more determined never to lose office. And so it goes.
The reason Trump will probably leave the White House quasi-voluntarily and the change of power will be essentially peaceful is precisely because Trump thinks he can blag his way out of anything and is too stupid to know that may not be true. If he and his enablers knew that the last assholes that did what they have done ended up in the electric chair or jailed for life, the only way they would be leaving would be at the point of a gun. Or in a box.
Don’t get get me wrong I know where you are coming from, but the fascism horse is very close to the door of the US democracy stable. And a clumsy attempt to shoo it back in may just end up causing it to bolt.
