Congress met today to put a stamp on Donald Trump's electoral college win, but local Rep. Barbara Lee and other House members disputed his victory.
"Congress is convening for a joint session to certify the votes of the electoral college. Given the deeply troubling incidents of disenfranchisement and the overwhelming evidence of Russian interference, I am challenging the electoral vote certification," Lee wrote on Facebook about a half-hour ago.
The representative was joined by several house members who opposed Trump's win due to voter-suppression tactics in states.
"During this presidential cycle, hundreds of thousands of voters — primarily voters of color — were disenfranchised before and on election day," Lee wrote.
Specifically, she cited how more than six dozen voting machines in Black precincts in Detroit malfunctioned on Election Day, and how GOP-controlled precincts in North Carolina cut voting hours.
"The use of malfunctioning voting machines, the restriction of provisional ballots, the improper purging of voter rolls, and the widely reported incidents of intimidation and misinformation at the polls are clear evidence of widespread voter suppression designed to restrict the vote among people of color, low-income voters, students and seniors."
Lee and others also cited concerns over "Russia interference" with the election.
Despite these protests, however, Trump's win was ultimately certified, 304 electoral-college votes to 227.
Ignorance so thick you can’t cut it with a chainsaw.
>>Lee and others also cited concerns over “Russia interference” with the election.<<
The Russians, if they did anything (as yet unproven) merely somehow shunted the exposed emails to Wikileaks. Nothing to do with the election unless you object to facts being made available.
These people are dumber than a bag of hammers.
Barbara “Commie” Lee

All utter horse poopoo.
Best. Election. EVER!
Hooray! Now F off you ugly cow.
Yup, knew it after consulting the god of Google.
So, which island does she expect to tip over?
Which taxes has she not paid?
The Lee family must be very proud of the intelligence DNA which runs through its line. Sheila Jackson Lee runs a close second to Barbara. The line not only is seen in blacks. Can vouch it is seen in whites here in Texas as well.
The In-Laws are prime examples.
They are as stupid as they are filthy.
In Democrat precincts that do not allow Republican election judges. In Dem precincts where fraud in favor of Dems is rampant. In a Dem city that doesn’t maintain voting machines.
Anyway, it failed. So there.
Next.
It is not ignorance - it is despair
No money for her district.
Isn’t the East Bay Area about to capsize?
SJL still looking to see if the rover can find Neil Armstrong’s flag on Mars?
Require voter ID.
Restrict early voting to one or two days, in person voting only, no mail-in ballots.
Maintain strict poll closing times, if you are in line when the polls close you can vote, if not, too bad.
Allow all party poll watchers at all polling stations.
Trump will win all 57 states.
The Left just expects us to shut up and give them their way by uttering the magic words "overwhelming evidence" like we are supposed to automatically accept their evidence is true and irrefutable.
