It all comes down to this: But if the two Houses shall disagree in respect of the counting of such votes, then, and in that case, the votes of the electors whose appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the State, under the seal thereof, shall be counted. IOW no matter how much the Dems object, Repos just need to hold the line and it goes to the governor to decide who are the "real" electors. Done. -- Drew

States that are currently Republican controlled, but vote blue, decide to appoint new Electors to the College. They can do this by the end of the day. I expect they've already got the paperwork done. Dems in the house could wait as long as possible and object to every single state as they read out their votes on 12/14. Republicans can be standing by to immediately receive the objection, say "No" and send it back. Longest I can see this lasting is the end of that week, 12/18. All this time Trump is still president. How do you see Dems stretching this process for another 4 1/2 weeks? When does Pelosi become President? -- Drew

It will make its way up the chain to state supreme court then wend into federal court. That will take time "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

Congress can't meet to count the votes until after the electors have met. If one or more states are still in court disputing the slate of electors, the House can say that they haven't met. Two tellers shall be previously appointed on the part of the Senate and two on the part of the House of Representatives, to whom shall be handed, as they are opened by the President of the Senate, all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes ... and said tellers, having then read the same in the presence and hearing of the two Houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall appear from the said certificates ... If the House doesn't appoint and present two "tellers" then the Senate can't do anything. Until someone files with the USSC that the House is refusing to perform their responsibility and the court orders the President of the Senate to read them out anyway. -- Drew
