How would they know if there were any objections if they never asked for them?

Somebody posted a transcript from a documentary about the electoral vote count in 2000. Al Gore asked for objections. There were no objections that met the qualifications (written and signed by a member of the House and a member of the Senate). Gore never did receive a valid written objection, but he still asked the question; he had to. It’s the law.

I know it’s in vogue for the Congress under Obama’s coup to just change the way they do things on a whim, ignoring laws and rules (kind of like the Hawaii DOH...) but that is not lawful.

If you’re saying that Congress changed the law to say that the question asking for objections doesn’t have to be asked then please cite for me the law where they changed that. Absent that, they clearly violated the law you posted here, which means that the process was never legally completed.

The objections are made in writing. If you haven’t received any, you don’t have objections. And NO ONE has ever suggested that ANY member of Congress harbored an objection - yet on the basis that Cheney didn’t verbally ask for someone to bring him a written objection, you wish to overturn the election?

You DO realize that most of the people and most of the Electoral College voted for the bastard, don’t you?

Take it to court, BDZ, and you’ll be properly laughed out of court.

Take it to the voters, and you wouldn’t get 1% of the voters to agree with you.

You don’t overturn an election because the Congress that made the rules didn’t have any written objections, and the VP didn’t verbally ask for any non-existent objections. It was the will of the people that Obama become President. I think that is appalling, but I thought that of Bill Clinton as well.

FWIW, the Congressional Black Caucus made it known that they intended to object in 2000, and they did so.

IIRC, it was comical. Along the lines of:

“Are there any objections?

I OBJECT! -insert pretentious speech here-

Is this objection written and signed by a representative and a senator?

THIS OBJECTIONS IS WRITTEN AND IS SIGNED BY A REPRESENTATIVE.

Then we can't accept it. So are there any objections?

I OBJECT! -insert pretentious speech here-

-Repeat 16 times-”

There's probably video on YouTube on the pages that will explain to you how GWB stole the 2000 election.
