After a couple of weeks of precious little real movement at all, some significant developments took place today on the Trump election challenge front.
First, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) let it be known via a tweet that he will file a formal challenge to the certification of the Electoral votes by both houses of congress scheduled to take place on January 6:

Although several GOP members of the House of Representatives have stated that they would also challenge the certification, Hawley becomes the first Republican senator to make a similar commitment.
“I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws,” Hawley said in a statement.
“And I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden. At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has so far failed to act,” Hawley added.
Hawley’s commitment ensures that a formal debate and roll call vote will now have to be held on the certification, eliminating the possibility of the clearly fraudulent electoral vote being certified via unanimous consent. While the group of GOP representatives – led by Alabama’s Mo Brooks – have been lining up to object for over a week now, they needed at least one senator to file a similar objection in order to force the debate and vote.
This will only be the third time congress has had such a debate and vote since 1887, according to the Congressional Research Service, the previous two times coming in 1969 and 2005, two times in which Democrats forced the process to take place following wins by Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. Hawley’s announcement comes as a direct affront to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had urged his senators not to take the action, and to the RINO contingent among the Senate GOP caucus, who are anxious to get the Senate back into go-along-to-get-along money making mode.
Ultimately, barring major movement on other fronts, Hawley’s action is not expected to change the final outcome of the certification process, but it will at least force each and every member in both houses to put their names on the record one way or the other. That in and of itself is a positive development, and will allow conservative Republicans to identify members of the House and Senate who need to face stiff primary challenges in coming election cycles.
Speaking of movement on other fronts… – We may have had a possible game-changing moment take place in Georgia today, where a subcommittee of the state’s Senate Judiciary Committee held a formal hearing on election fraud that included live witness testimony and presentation of hard evidence.
One of the witnesses was analyst Jovan Pulitzer, a digital expert who explained to the Committee how all Dominion machines are in fact interconnected with the Internet despite the company’s consistent denials, and that he was in fact connected via computer to one such machine in Fulton County as he was speaking:
It is unlawful under Georgia law – and in most, if not all other states – for vote tabulating machines to be linked to the Internet or networked with one another.
Pulitzer explained to the committee that he had the ability to quickly audit the paper ballots counted by the Dominion machines and could easily identify fraudulent ballots due to physical artifacts that such ballots contain:
He made a simple request of the Committee to allow him to conduct an audit of Fulton County ballots, a process that he said would only take a few hours, given that it is entirely automated. After hearing his compelling testimony, the Committee members voted along partisan lines – of course – to approve his audit:
Assuming everything Mr. Pulitzer described today is on the up and up and that he can a) prove the Dominion machines are in fact linked to the Internet, and b) identify enough fraudulent ballots to change the outcome of the presidential contest in Georgia, this could be a game-changer.
After all, if this is all factual in Georgia, why would things be any different in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona, along with every other state in the union that uses Dominion hardware and software?
Stay tuned.
That is all.
It will be interesting to see the reaction of the Typical Man In The Street if they get red pilled and wake up to see how much they’ve been lied to.
The media, I think, will try to continue to lie, but I don’t know if they can continue that. Or will be allowed to try. I would not want to be working in the MSM right now. The buggy whip industry seems like a better long-term proposition.
Hawley-BFD.
the Dominion guy-lie to congress. I hope he enjoys gay sex.
I watched him and the lady from Coffee County. He has hard evidence that the ballots sent to the more democrat counties were printed different in the bar code than the ballots sent to the more republican counties. Many of the ballots sent to republican counties had a target mark in the bar code that told the Dominion machines to reject/not count it regardless of who the ballot marked to vote for. You can simply run them through and see what happens.
Congress needs to reject the vote from EVERY state that used Dominion.
This getting to be like a Detroit Lions fan late in the 4th quarter.
I watched this entire hearing. It was quite compelling! If you all haven’t watched it, I encourage you to do so!
Josh Hawley may not realize it yet.
But today, December 30, 2020, he vaulted to the very top of the potential Republican nominees for U.S. President in 2024.
An extremely impressive patriot.
Not sure I follow. This could be one of those times where something comes out in a way other than it was intended.
” After hearing his compelling testimony, the Committee members voted along partisan lines – of course – to approve his audit:”
they voted unanimously for his audit..not along partisan lines.
I would vote for Josh Hawley if he ran for president.
“(Hawley)...Republican nominee for U.S. President in 2024.”
Reading your comment made me laugh out loud. Really. If the Republicans do not Stop The Steal right now, at this moment, then there will be no possible way any Republican will ever win another election of any significance. If the programmed electoral fraud doesn’t kill the Republican Party, then the loss of the majority of their voter base due to their feckless and gutless failure in this national crisis surely will.
You are correct, if the Big Steal is not stopped, any future elections will be more rigged than this one.
“You are correct, if the Big Steal is not stopped, any future elections will be more rigged than this one.”
Very true. We need to find out why no one on our side tried to figure out how it was going to be done. PDJT warned us repeatedly about this but no one listened or seemed to care.
Being reactive is useless as the Democrats and others in league with them will simply change their methods. We need to be and should have been proactive.
I agree with you on your point.
But, I’m assuming that Donald Trump is going to have four more years, and the congressional democrats will have a huge, divisive civil war within it’s ranks.
I thought Ted Cruz would be the first of many senators, to object.
