If Republicans force two hours of debate for each of the half-dozen states that they seek to depict as in question, it could mean the proceedings drag on into the early hours of Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>After that time, each chamber will hold a vote by simple majority on whether to accept or reject the objection. Given that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and several other prominent Republicans in the Senate have urged their colleagues not to mount these challenges, it\u2019s unlikely that even a Republican Senate would vote to accept such an objection.<\/p>\n<p>With Democrats in control of the House of Representatives, it\u2019s a still greater stretch to imagine that the body would vote to reject any state\u2019s slate of Biden electors. According to federal law, for a state\u2019s slate of electors to be rejected, both houses of Congress would have to agree to do so.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Chris Matthews\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chris_Matthews\"><\/span>Chris Matthews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
