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.
