Members of Congress expect a long day of bitter debate today as both houses convene to count Electoral College votes and certify Democrat Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

Here's how it will work: bit.ly/38kd0uL

Two mahogany boxes containing sealed certificates of the electoral votes of each state and the District of Columbia are brought in once the session begins.

2. It's signed by both a House and Senate member.
