Thought this was interesting as I didn't know the history of objecting to the electoral votes in the past prior to this week.

There has always been a fringe that would willingly fight for the impossible, but the grown-ups in the room never allowed it to go very far. The only time in my life that a possible challenge would have had any possibility to have legs, it was Florida in 2000. Gore was the one that stopped that idea. He recognized the damage that would be caused by continued fighting. He knew erosion in the faith of the electoral process would cause long term damage to the party and the process. The current President doesn't care.
