The effort to overturn Trump's loss may be defeated overwhelmingly while fracturing his party.

The Senate Republicans opposed to certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win are heading toward a hefty defeat on Wednesday. The only remaining question is this: how badly do they lose?
Just 11 GOP senators have signaled support for separate efforts led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). That makes 13 supporters — and many more have come out swinging against it.

“To challenge a state’s certification, given how specific the Constitution is, would be a violation of my oath of office — that is not something I am willing to do and is not something Oklahomans would want me to do,” said Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), who announced his decision Tuesday.

First time I've agreed with something this climate-change denier-in-chief.
 
I think some of them are realizing how this is going to look.
 
There's nothing wrong with objecting to Electors, but you better have a damn good reason to rejecting the choice of a state's people and their legislature and Secretary of State.
