So it's seditious, traitorous and an attempt at disenfranchisement to be concerned that two states (which even if they were both rejected wouldn't have been enough to give Trump a second term) didn't follow their own electoral laws like they're supposed to? I'm going to guess that wasn't the case back in 2005 when then-California Senator Barbara Boxer and then-Ohio Representative Stephanie Tubbs formally objected to Ohio's electors voting to re-elect George W. Bush on the grounds of voter irregularities.
I have no love for Bush, but don't be a dishonest partisan hack by pretending that objections to electors aren't a lawful part of the process.
Ultimately, no one's going to change their mind either way. Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durbin who are bitching now had no problem with their team's objection back in 2005. Republicans are more mixed though in that most who bitched back then are also still bitching now because they're losers stuck to principles and institutions fighting an enemy that doesn't care about principles or institutions, only power. The sooner more Republicans figure that out, or the sooner the old guard like McConnell and Romney are ousted, the better.
