Basically, it appears there are House members willing to file a formal objection Friday to the electoral college vote, but no senators.

And under 3 USC 15, one House member and one senator must both object in order for such objection to be considered. (It happened in 2005.)

Incidentally, both members who did so in 2005 (re: Ohio's electoral votes) are no longer in Congress: Sen. Boxer and Rep. Tubbs Jones.

worth noting that neither of those congress members ever lost an election post-2005

Oh, god. I wasn't suggesting that. I was saying, "It can't be the two who did it in 2005."
