Vice President Mike Pence said he welcomes efforts by lawmakers to challenge Electoral College results in the upcoming congressional joint session on Jan. 6, when the votes are formally counted, according to a statement sent by his chief of staff to reporters.
Vice President Chief of Staff Marc Short issued the statement on Saturday saying that Pence, who will be presiding over the Jan. 6 session as president of the senate, is open to considering planned objections by Republican House members and senators to Electoral College votes cast for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Short added that the vice president also welcomes efforts by lawmakers to present evidence of election irregularities and alleged voter fraud before Congress during that session.
“Vice President Pence shares the concerns of millions of Americans about voter fraud and irregularities in the last election,” Short said in the statement sent to media outlets.
This comes after a group of 11 Republican senators announced their intention to challenge the electoral college votes from contested states earlier on Saturday. The group, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), said the 2020 election “featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations, and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.”
The allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election “exceed any in our lifetimes,” they said, adding that this “deep distrust” of U.S. democratic processes “will not magically disappear” and “should concern us all,” whether or not elected officials or journalist believe the allegations.
“It poses an ongoing threat to the legitimacy of any subsequent administrations,” the senators wrote in their statement, while calling on Congress to appoint an electoral commission to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election results.

Here is a free link to the New York Times article with the exact same headline - via MSN.com.
The link to Epoch Times on this thread wants my email address before reading their article, which I do not want to do.
January 6th has an religious background known as The Epiphany and to many as this
On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th from my The First Book Of Moses poetry page
On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th
Once Upon a Time and not too long ago
The Twelfth Night Of Christmas
was celebrated with a ball
From the Day of Babes Birth
and the 11 thereafter
kith and kin were paid a visit
and friends from far and near
once were paid a call
So on this day I pray in the spirit that this date recalls
Let the gift of homage of kings gain
in the spirit of the days this season yet remain
ere it wane
Be thine Blessings Great
and misfortunes thee none befall
This poem is an abbreviated version from my websites poetry page which shows how the Christmas season was observed by Catholics in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood during depression times and WWII.The page also lists the differences from traditional Roman Catholic Christmas observance and the present after Vatican 2.Which eliminated a period of mortification during the advent period of fast and abstinence or reducing emphasis on observing feast days such as Immaculate Conception December 8th and the 12th day of Christmas known as the Epiphany January 6th.Resulting in listing Epiphany no longer on most calendars because of the decision to observe Epiphany to a Sunday following Christmas the 25th and New Years which was then known as the feast of Circumcision later named The Presentation when Jesus was presented in the Temple .

The grounds are: We have been unable to replicate the results in a transparent manner in [state]. In some cases it was the election committees, the executive branch, or the judicial branch which prevented transparent replication, but in each of these cases replication was absent.
So brave
Object all you want, Senate and House get two hours
Retire to chambers to pontificate.
Come back out and House says we’re done, all the votes are certified and Biden wins.
Pence reads final tally.
Call it a night
The End
Give them 3-4 hours of huffing and puffing, the House calls it, goodnight.
He should hold SCOTUS hostage and not certify the vote until the SCOTUS hears the evidence of fraud in Texas et al vs PA.
I agree. Let’s all sit on our butts and let the Dum Dums and GOP-e proceed without anyone lifting a finger.
WTF are you even here for? You've already given up, like a whiny little girl.
I'll give up when Trump gives up, and not a minute before.
bookmark
Pence make SCOTUS take up Texas vs. PA or no certification!!!!
looking ahead, what is the possibility that McConnell and Pelosi will scheme to advocate voice votes over roll call votes for all votes regarding the electoral college?
voice votes will forever seal the doom of the USA as we know it without ever revealing the names of the congresspeople favoring biden.
On the contrary, there will be 24 hours of debate (2 hours per state x 6 states x two chambers of Congress = 24 hours). I think we have a real shot at this now. We’re no longer talking about one or two members of each chamber objecting. Latest tally is at least 124 members of the House and 12 Senators, and continuing to grow. Everyone I’ve heard tonight has been saying the right things, talking about how we cannot move on without getting this election right because the American people will not accept this election until we get to the bottom of the fraud and correct it.
I don’t think these representatives would have stuck their necks out unless they really planned to do something concrete that everyone could have confidence in. If they are just planning to go through the motions, to claim that they looked into it and there was no fraud, or not enough to affect the result, then it would be better for them if they had done nothing at all. And I think they know that.
A couple weeks ago, I read that Pelosi becomes temporary President if there is no certification by Inauguration Day.
And, she stays President until there is certification or the House chooses (by state delegation, not individual members) the President.
I have not personally checked the Constitution and the federal statutes to confirm this is accurate.
Its simple math
The House and Senate will get a full vote, thats 435 members in The House and 100 in the Senate.
Its takes a majority in each to overturn any EC vote.
Not going to happen.
Little pouty cheerleaders running around here waving their pom poms and tinkling down their legs wont change that.
