Remember, it's treason to certify false election results knowingly and willfully!
If the Constitution explicitly supports such objections, then the Turtle and the Overpriced Ice Cream eater can stuff it.
GOP: Whig 2.0.
How can a mere agreement overrule the Constitution? It can’t.
Stop criticizing Mitch! He’s great on judges!
That’s what I’ve always been told when I’ve warned Freepers that Mitch is their enemy and we’d be better off if he loses his seat in the general election
The Big Steal is bipartisan.
Wow....all of the blogs are jumping on this “story”.
Remember it’s treason to certify an ineligible candidate.
Been there, done that.
Also under federal law, the joint session of Congress required by the 12th Amendment to count the electoral votes and declare the winners of the presidential election is held on January 6, 2021. That is when the Electoral Count Act becomes a factor. When the results from each state are announced, a member of the House and Senate can jointly object, in writing, to the election results from that state. The House and Senate then adjourn briefly to consider the objection; if both bodies agree to uphold the objection, the votes are excluded from the election results under the terms of the Electoral Count Act.
Of course they are.
And nobody is bothering to ask if they’re falling hook, line, and sinker for disinfo.
This story could be ginned up to depress protest attendance.
Mitch wants to stay out of the Gulags
G
Watch.
Looks like push comes to shove may escalate to bare knuckle punching before this is said and done.
A few years ago, I would have taken comfort in the fact the process for counting (and objecting) to EC votes is coded in crystal clear law.
Nowadays..not so much. Especially since laws seem to only apply to us “little people” and those in positions of power seem to do damn well whatever they want without consequence, totally independent of what the law may or may not say..
Only if Pence agrees to it.
