CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) on Tuesday announced that he will not oppose certification of Electoral College results cementing President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory during Wednesday’s Joint Session of Congress.
Scott is breaking with many House republicans and a few Senate republicans who plan to object to the results in some states where Biden won.
However, Scott understands that “in nearly every election across this great country, there is some modicum of error. Some errors are merely mistakes, while some are intentional, and therefore fraud.” In the case of Trump’s opposition to the results, “Thus far, no justice, judge or fact finder has found evidence indicating the election results in those states should be overturned.”
In a statement, Scott said that he is “grateful for all of the work President Trump has done for the people of this country, and [he] was proud to work with him” on multiple endeavors. But in his reading of the Constitution, he found “no constitutionally viable means for the Congress to overturn an election wherein the states have certified and sent their Electors.”
While he believes that his colleagues in opposition are well-intentioned, he disagrees “with their method both in principle and in practice.” He went on to explain that “for their theory to work, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats would have to elect Donald Trump president rather than Joe Biden. That it is not going to happen, not today or any other day.”
Scott did advocate for stronger voter protection measures, saying “there is a growing perception in this country that our elections are not as secure as they can be, and that must be remedied immediately.” As such, he believes ” the first legislative action the 117th Congress should undertake is the debate and passage of an election security and voter protection package. We must protect future elections from the same uncertainty that has plagued the 2020 election.”
See you at your primary doofus!!
“””Thus far, no justice, judge or fact finder has found evidence indicating the election results in those states should be overturned.””””
“Thus far, no justice, judge or fact finder has ALLOWED ANY DISCOVERY TO SEE IF THE election results in those states should be overturned.”
One by one the Senate RINORATS stab Republican President Trump in the back.
I changed my voter registration from Republican to Independent three weeks ago. I have left the Republican Plantation.
if there is no justice, there can only be revolution Senator Scott!
you’d better rethink rewarding the election to its Thieves!
the American people are NOT going to let this go by without proper and EFFECTIVE response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Primary him. Lindsay Graham too.
Any politician who won’t admit (or doesn’t believe) that the integrity of our elections is THE paramount issue should kill himself now and save patriots the trouble.
Why did they stop the election count for the first time ever?
He is a douche bag. A “company man”
He’s obviously not the sharpest tack in the room. He wants Congress give the rubber stamp of approval to election fraud. That’s called complicity and it makes Scott and anyone who goes along with the crime traitors.
All kinds of traitors being revealed.
Quango: QUasi-Autonomous Non-Governmental Organisation. Primarily a British term meaning 'a semipublic administrative body outside the civil service but receiving financial support from the government, which makes senior appointments to it.'
In other words, his snout and trotters are as far into the public trough as they can be!
“My father actually IS the son of a sharecropper.”
My father was actually a sharecropper, or as they were known in these latitudes, he was a half-cropper.
His neck was red from working in the sun too.
So I am the son of a sharecropper. Send me your signature on a bank draft for one million dollars.
What he doesn’t realize is this is his last term, he and Graham. With four years of unobstructed “change” all voting machine will always vote Democrat and no Conservative/Republican will ever win again. This was a time to take a chance and take a stand. These people, and I voted for both of them, are responsible for the coming loss of freedom and I will remind them with every loss major and minor. I doubt I’ll ever vote again, thank God I lived when I did at America’s greatest moment.
for their theory to work, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats ...
No, not at all. The states would have to elect DJT. One vote per state.
There are currently some 35 Republican led states.
Pelosi could only sit back and soil her depends.
He was a never-Trumper from the beginning. Remember that meeting that took place where CEOs and politicians met to discuss how to remove Donald Trump (Not yet president). Tim Scott attended that meeting. I have to look for it.
“Your comment looks to be the first bigoted comment of the day.”
And you say this why?
Its Justice that’s supposed to be blind, not Senator Tim Scott (R-SC)
Buzz off.
“So I am the son of a sharecropper. Send me your signature on a bank draft for one million dollars.”

Thankfully, my father, though from Mississippi, married a woman from Maine: they didn’t raise any idiots!
Your ping was FUNNY!!!
Quote: “Thus far, no justice, judge or fact finder has found evidence indicating the election results in those states should be overturned.”
ENRAGING that this should be their excuse. Thus far Tim, no justice or judge has allowed a case to proceed much beyond filing. In America, as Tim well knows, we have a pretty low pleading standard with an enhanced requirement for fraud. Once a case is adequately plead, it is THEN heard by a fact finder or disposed of by summary judgement if appropriate.
NO FACT FINDER has heard any facts. Every case has been dismissed on a technicality.
Oh that Al Effing Gore’s campaign had received such treatment!!!!
This is why I say that it is high time for the Neo-Whigs go the way of the originals. Someone, anyone make me a case for the Senate GOP/Mitt Romney wing of the Republican Party and the Party in general.
I am unable to conjure it up in my wildest imagination.
