i think a key risk not included is that the objections to PA and AZ passed. then objections to another state could’ve been passed. that would’ve meant it went to a contingent election. that would’ve been decided by the House delegations of each state, each state decided by 1 vote. the Reps controlled 26. though Liz Cheney probably would’ve voted for Biden. so there would be a stalemate 25-25. that would mean Nancy Pelosi would become President.
now that Liz Cheney is out, it would mean Trump becomes President.
many—i believe most—Republicans in the House voted to object. A fair amount in the Senate too. There would be more next time.
this is covered in Jamie Raskin’s book “Unthinkable.”
