The political coup by President Donald Trump and his GOP co-conspirators to overturn the 2020 election is not over. The next apparent plot to impose Trump as president despite losing the election comes Jan. 6 when Congress holds a joint session to conduct the traditionally perfunctory event of counting the electoral votes already lawfully cast for President-elect Joe Biden.
But this time, some GOP members of Congress have indicated they will - or are considering - objecting to counting the electoral votes from key battleground states, claiming without proof that there was widespread voter irregularities or fraud that renders the election results illegitimate.
On the Senate side, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley announced his intention to object to the election results from Pennsylvania while Sen. Ted Cruz and 10 other Republican senators on Jan. 2 voiced their collective threat to object to the electoral votes from other “disputed states.” There are also reportedly at least 140 House GOP members from across the nation who will object.
As a practical matter, since it takes a majority in both the House and Senate to agree to reject the electoral votes from any state, this latest effort to disenfranchise millions of voters in the service of Trump will most likely fail, given that Democrats control the House. It may, however, delay the proceedings for several hours as members debate and vote on the objections.

It’s not fraud if they win.
Nice try dimwit. The Republicans didn’t cheat.
Dean here should be wary of SHOPD...
Dean Obeidallah is a particularly loathsome POS on Twitter, also.
This is a constitutional procedure.
His call is fascist/totalitarian.
He didn’t make the same call when Democrat Senators and House members did it.
It is totalitarianism we are up against.
The Ministry of Propaganda hasn’t been able to douse the dumpster fire that is the Big Steal.
Despite the continuous claims of no evidence, people keep seeing evidence.
Freedom of speech is STILL a “thing.” And, no one has to pass a “purity” test to be sworn in.
Go to their homes, get in there face.
This is why VP Pence should open the Electoral College proceedings with a motion to RECUSE recently (re-)elected Governors, Senators, and Representatives from states that used the Dominion, ES&S, etc. machines and the SmartMatic (and derivatives) malware from participating in the selection of our President.
Stooped reading after the first line.
F-— MSNBC and Bill Gates, too!
This will include Pelosi and McConnell, both, among others, like the Gov. of GA.
The author’s name is Obeidallah... interesting Arabic name, meaning little servant of Allah.
He’s a Palestinian mix... tells you everything you need to know about the bias of his reporting.
MSNBC keeps getting dirtier day by day. They are trying to hide what the democrats did, and they cannot. God help this country if they inaugurate Joe Biden until this question is resolved.
lol
What is ‘SHOPD?
Kind of like COPD, but it's not a natural condition...
Biden won the election? News to me!
Tyvm. I’m not culturally aware.
