      As such, under 3 USC 15, the objection is not considered. Counting continues.

      An objection is made to Mississippi's vote. Biden interrupts and asks if there is a senator joining her. There was not, so he cuts it off.

          Dem reps objected to 10 states' electoral votes: AL, FL, GA, MI, MS, NC, SC, WV, WI, and WY. No senator joined, so none were considered.
