Sen. Kelly Loeffler Says She Might Object to Electoral Votes During the Jan. 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress.

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) confirmed on Dec. 16 that she is open to objecting to electoral votes during the Jan. 6, 2021, joint session of Congress.

“I haven’t looked at it,” Loeffler told reporters in Georgia. “January 6 is a long way out and there’s a lot to play out between now and then.”

A spokesperson referred The Epoch Times to Loeffler’s remarks, when asked if the senator has decided whether or not to object to votes during the joint session.

On that day, the House of Representatives and Senate are scheduled to meet to count electoral votes from 50 states and the District of Columbia.

As of the current unofficial count, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has enough electoral votes to win the presidency. But President Donald Trump is contesting election results in key battleground states and in seven states, dueling sets of electors cast votes.

During the session, lawmakers can file objections to electoral votes. Objections must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and one senator. If that occurs, legislators in the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider the merits of the objection or objections.

The chambers then vote separately on the objection. If there’s a majority vote in each chamber, the objection stands, and the votes are nullified.

Besides Loeffler, Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) have said they’re open to objecting. Spokespersons for the other Republican senators and senator-elects haven’t responded to requests for comment, other than Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who said he doesn’t support the effort.

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John Thune (R-S.D.), and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) are among the Republican senators who have dismissed the idea of joining the planned objections.

ADDITIONALLY:

At least four people who will be representatives on Jan. 6 have committed to filing objections.

“I’ve lived in Georgia my entire life, and I know for a fact that Georgia did not elect Joe Biden for president. We reelected President Trump,” Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told The Epoch Times last week.

She, fellow member-elects Bob Good (R-Va.) and Barry Moore (R-Ala.), and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) all say they’ll object to votes.

Failure to garner support from at least one senator would lead to the scenario that played out in January 2017. Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) and several other Democrats objected to votes, but without a senator signing on, Biden, then the vice president, was forced to turn them down.

She’s a Never Trumper Ditch GOPeer, Jim.

Hey, we will need her objection if we are going to replace the electors.

"Might?"

Jello spine legislators.

I am proud to be the ONLY Senator with a 100% voting record with @realDonaldTrump.

Thanks to the support of hardworking Georgians in every corner of our great state, we have MOMENTUM and we are going to win BIG tomorrow and continue fighting to Keep America Great! pic.twitter.com/Z9uzUqGuhk— Kelly Loeffler (@KLoeffler) November 2, 2020

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’ve been wondering when she and Perdue would realize they better get woke or they are going to be former senators.

[Paladin2]

Unfortunately, THAT’s where we stand.

I’ve come around to holding my nose. but I certainly don’t like it. At All.

[Shadow44]

She isn’t even Machiavellian enough to lie to save her job. I won’t get upset when she inevitably loses.

[edie1960]

God bless Senator Loeffler if she is sincere about doing this.

Would expect the Perdue’s to help after; even cousin Sonny (PDJT’s Ag Secretary) threw his POTUS under the bus a few weeks ago and David couldn’t wait to get off the stage when POTUS held his rally.

[Paladin2]

I want to see the data and YouTubes on that claim.

[DesertRhino]

““I haven’t looked at it,” Loeffler told reporters in Georgia”.

Tell her it’ll help her portfolio. That gets her moving like nothing else.

[tarpit]

I would like to know how Kelly to answer to answer the following: Given the Georgia Star has reported that law permitting the drop off box expired 5 days prior to the election, under what legal basis do you conclude those votes count?

[SeekAndFind]

RE: I won’t get upset when she inevitably loses.

Oh, so you won’t get upset if the Marxist, America-hating, Baby Killing Pastor Warnock becomes the Senator who will help confirm the next Federal Judges and Justice of the Supreme Court?

[House Atreides]

“She’s a Never Trumper Ditch GOPeer, Jim.”

Have you not been paying attention to her record in the Senate? She has been a strong Trump supporter.

There are two ways to understand the word “woke” in the above sentence.

One is the WAKE UP.

The other is to become entwined with the Black Lives Matter movement and their critical race theory and social justice schtick.

Some people are just naturally cynical.

Facts don’t care about your feelings

[doc maverick]

The deep state is ruthless and murderous. I have an idea that those who could object aren’t going to say anything until the whole thing goes down. They are receiving death threats already.

FINALLY! A Republican Senator with a backbone and unflinching strength! Kelly "might" object! Kelly's "open to" possibly objecting to Biden's electoral votes! Kelly "hasn't looked at it!"

Wow. Republican Senators are ready and willing to do whatever it takes ......... maybe! Sad.
