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.

I OBJECT to her HAIR!
I know she is a “stroke”, but her hair looks RIDICULOUS!
It’s about 10 inches or more, TOO LONG! It looks WEIRD!
I live in Georgia and not a single Republican anywhere has given me one single reason that I should vote in this runoff.
Why would I bother? It’s cold out. It doesn’t matter what I do, there will be unlimited fake ballots generated and counted in downtown Fulton county and nothing will be done about it.
Why would I vote?
Are you a gun owner? Believe in the Second Amendment? Both Loeffler/Perdue rated ‘A’ by GOA. That is good enough for me...Although I cannot vote for either, I can and have $upported them.
It’s not that I don’t support them. It’s that I don’t get to bring a suitcase. I only get one vote.
As far as my firearms, I’m ok with being a felon.
I would add NRA has likewise endorsed both Perdue and Loeffler and rates both ‘A’.
Thank you. It seems strange that lawyers and legislators don’t have a firm grasp on this when this is their remaining strategy to nullify fraudulent votes. It will be necessary to prove the voting frauds so unquestionably that majorities in both the House and Senate see that it’s true. Given that the DOJ denies that there was widespread fraud, this is a tall order.
