What Happened This Week In Washington — And Georgia

Each chamber — House and Senate — is now withdrawing to debate the merits of the objection to Arizona’s certificate.

Rep. Paul Gosar has objected to Arizona’s certificate of electoral college votes. Some parliamentary bureaucracy is now ensuing.

This is a crazy moment to be watching, not least because it’s a window into a part of our electoral system that most people never pay attention to. Of course, there’s usually no reason to pay attention to it — it’s not typically a moment of high drama. So on multiple levels, an unusual civics lesson!
