On January 6, 2001, a joint-session of Congress met to certify the electoral vote. Twenty members of the House of Representatives, most of them Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, rose one-by-one to file objections to the electoral votes of Florida. However, according to an 1877 law, any such objection had to be sponsored by both a representative and a senator. No senator would co-sponsor these objections, deferring to the Supreme Court's ruling. Therefore, Gore, who was presiding in his capacity as President of the Senate , ruled each of these objections out of order. Bush subsequently became the President-elect

So, lets assume a Senator does object to the electoral returns. First off, who is most likely to do so? Secondly, what effect does this have on the final result?
