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.

“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.”
Isn’t it impossible that the House of Representatives will vote as a majority to nullify the votes?
Sorry, I’ve not heard much from her on the election fraud, even in Ga.
Can you provide some links?
She’s not NeverTrump.
She is open????
She “MIGHT”?????
She would have been better off keeping her mouth shut.
We call that weak-kneed RINO speak!
Screw her. Pence is the tie breaker. Bye Felicia.
And your links are where ‘zactly?
May object??? Is she kidding?
She sounds like a wet noodle pol who is trying to play it safe. The way I am seeing it,the discussion may very well be moot for big gap tooth has a bag full of a million “votes” already.
I heard on Seb Gorkas show today that there’s an argument to be made that the House votes for disputed elector votes should be the State delegates as would be if the House was choosing the President. In that case, Republicans have a 27-23 advantage.
I think she wins but Perdue and Soy Boy seems to be the one that can break either way
Anyone saying they “might” object to this illegal election is really saying “this will convince the stupid suckers to vote for me”
What a spineless waste. Disgusting.
How can either Loeffler or Perdue win when the exact same voting system that caused Trump to lose is in place? Same Dominion machines, more fraudulent mail-in ballots ( courtesy of Stacey Abrams ), etc.
“I haven’t looked at it”
What the hell have you been doing then?
Yeah she just might object unless the turtle ponies up to by her silence.
The Courts have already been captured and it's amazing how many people keep getting strung along with the deluded notion that if we just appoint X more judges then the Courts will miraculously reverse everything. The Republican Party has appointed 15 out of the past 19 justices, and the Supreme Court hasn't shifted an inch.
Where the hell are yours? You said she is a NeverTrumper when she isn’t.
And so are their families, including grandchildren, IMO.
Proof?
Appointed by A NeverTrumper, crooked Governator, yet to be heard on the National Scene.
I get so tired of the trick of some arrogant fuck demanding links for every statement they see, expecting people to dash around the internet to demonstrate their worthiness to express an idea.
You first.
