44. It has happened before. Sometime in the 60's I think.
I don't feel like looking up when the challenge took place.

Anyway, noting much will happen if there is a challenge. The two houses hold separate debates immediately, and in TWO HOURS, no delay tactics, no filibuster, in TWO HOURS, they vote. To reject the electors, BOTH houses must agree to reject them. One house votes to accept, and they are accepted.

So if there is a challenge, it will be for theather only. It won't have a real effect on the outcome. W still gets another term.
