This would remove the electoral votes from Biden in six states. On January 6, states will certify their results to Congress. They are only binding if Congress accepts them. Those not accepted will not count. Are House Dems needed? Not necessarily. The 12th Amendment says it's a majority of the 50 state delegations. Republicans have the majority at 27. The question is whether that also applies to Congress' acceptance of the electoral votes. SCOTUS will have to decide that point.

And then we'll see if SCOTUS will help him to steal the election - the main reason they rushed through the latest appointed.

This will be a defining moment for American Democracy if hundreds of years of Electoral College Precedent gets brow beaten using Amy "Covid" Barret despite dozens of losses in Lower Courts.
