So, you thought the 2020 election was going to end quietly?

The debate was kicked off by Rep. Chip Roy, who argued that Congress should not do so; Rep. Mike Johnson argued the opposite side. Others jumped in. Leaders stayed quiet
"It is a very destructive and potentially far-reaching effort to delegitimize our electoral institutions," said Alex Keyssar, professor of history and social policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Since a clear majority of the country chose Biden, why does the Electoral College continue to have the final say?
