On January 6 the House and Senate will meet in a joint session to tabulate the electoral votes. Pence will serve as the presiding officer and announce the results of each state in alphabetical order pursuant to procedures set forth under federal law. After each state's results are announced, members will have the opportunity to offer objections to those results. Objections must be made in writing and require the support of at least one member of the House of Representatives and one member from the Senate.
Several members of the House have signaled they may raise objections, but it is unclear whether any senators have committed themselves to supporting such a move. Even if a Republican senator agrees to join in on an objection, it would likely be defeated given the process for settling them. Each chamber would meet separately to entertain the objection. For an objection to be approved, it must gain a majority of votes in both chambers. Democrats' control of the House of Representatives ensures any objection would be defeated in that body. Given the thin Republican majority in the Senate, the acknowledgment of a Biden victory by Republican senators including Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowsi, Ben Sasse, and Bill Cassidy suggests any objections would be defeated in the Senate as well.
