Raskin explained how sticky things could have gotten if the rioters who stormed the Capitol to try to overturn the election had their way: "All they wanted Pence to do was to rebuff the electors coming in from Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, lowering Biden’s total to below 270, kicking the presidential contest into a contingent election [in the House]. And there they wanted it because we vote not one member, one vote, but one state, one vote. And if they’d been able to do that, which would not have been really that much if you look at the different things Mike Pence did over the prior four years for Trump, they would have won it with 27 states to 22 for the Democrats and one tied. And at that point he probably would’ve followed the advice of Michael Flynn and imposed martial law and a state of siege, and this would’ve been the Reichstag moment."
