GEORGIA: U.S. Rep Jody Hice Will Object to Georgia’s Electoral College Votes on January 6
National File ^ | 12/24/2020 | Frank Salvato

Posted on 12/25/2020 9:29:32 AM PST by SeekAndFind

As the countdown to the Electoral College vote certification in a joint session of Congresses continues, one Georgia Congressman has stepped forward to lead the charge against his own state’s slate of certified Electors.

Georgia’s certified Electoral College votes will be challenged January 6, 2021, at a joint meeting of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate convenes to tally the vote.

US Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), announced late Monday in Twitter, “I will lead an objection to Georgia’s electors on Jan. 6. The courts refuse to hear the president’s legal case. We’re going to make sure the people can!”

Big meeting today with @realDonaldTrump, @VP, the President's legal team, @freedomcaucus and other Members of Congress.

I will lead an objection to Georgia's electors on Jan 6.

The courts refuse to hear the President's legal case.

We're going to make sure the People can!

— Rep. Jody Hice (@CongressmanHice) December 22, 2020

Hice is the eighth member of Congress who will be in attendance at the joint session who has committed to challenging electoral votes from several states including Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and possibly Nevada.

Representative-Elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is one of the eight who has committed to contest those votes.

Greene told reporters she doesn’t believe Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden won Georgia. She pointed to numerous citations of voter fraud and ballot tampering, as well as evidence to illegal obstruction of the tabulation process under Georgia law.

Greene pointed to surveillance camera footage validating the claims of fraud, tampering, and obstruction from Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Election Day.

“I feel it’s completely important, necessary, for this to be challenged in the House of Representatives,” Greene said.

.@realdonaldtrump deserves his day in court, AND we are definitely going to give him his day in Congress.

We have a rapidly growing group of House Members and Senators.

Jan 6 challenge is on. 🇺🇸

But while eight members of the House of Representatives are committed to contesting the electoral votes from the aforementioned states, it takes at least one Representative and one senator to affect deliberative procedures in the matter. No senators have as of yet committed to challenging votes.

Six US Senators or US Senators-Elect have stated they are exploring the idea of contesting the slates, while another 18 say they haven’t ruled it out.

Senator-Elect Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Rand Paul (R-KY), Rick Scott (R-FL), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Josh Hawley (R-MO), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) have all indicated that they very well may contest the electors from the states in question.

If objections are sustained, through a process of deliberation and voting on the objections, the vote for President and Vice President of the United States would be held – by delegation – in the US House of Representatives.

Currently, by delegation, Republicans hold the majority in the US House.

For what reason are the courts refusing to hear the case? What kind of nonsense is this? This is the PRESIDENT of the USA, what the hell?

at this point I really believe this is about making a name for themselves for the future

certainly rabble rousers will be punished.

but perhaps it is worth it to show the people that they were willing to fight

Good news....the more, the merrier. I don’t know why ANY of them have to “consider it.” It should be automatic but I guess they have their own angle and agenda..Shame!

Can I get a Georgia Legislature to stop the “overturning” of the election by fraud please. The reason why Kemp and the SOS arent doing anything because of their LOVE of “overturned” elections. Otherwise they would have the Legislature convene and stop the “overturning” of the election by fraud.

President Trump was placed in office against insurmountable odds for such a time as this. God does hear and answer prayer. If it is His Will then President Trump will continue to MAGA. If not, we are in for some troubling, chaotic, evil times ushering in the NWO . . .which IMHO is a foreshadow of the Tribulation. Now and especially during this season is the time to tell others that Jesus Christ was born to die a grueling death on Mt. Calvary for the sins of all. Hell is real and no one is guaranteed a New Year or a next breath. Give the Gift of Life this year . . . tell someone about Jesus.

Kemp keeps making the right noises... and then throws up his hands.

I was thrilled last week to hear radio spots, sponsored by the campaign, urging Georgians to contact their legislators for a new session. I called, and have written my reps.

Something good may yet come from this. As was pointed out by an article posted earlier, this was malicious, coordinated and premeditated.

And with time, that’s beginning to sink in.

It takes time to change the Senate with their 6-year terms.

I just sent this email to my Senators:

Dear Senator

In the strongest of terms, I urge you to support those Congressmen/women who have promised to challenge the electoral votes from the several states wherein massive fraud upon We the People has been perpetrated by the Democrat Party.

We must not allow Joe Biden and the Democrats to steal this election.

Can I extract FRom you a promise to Stop the Steal?

Sincerely,

A federal appellate court judge appointed by President Trump said this in ruling against the president’s appeal in Wisconsin yesterday: “Allowing the President to raise his arguments, at this late date, after Wisconsin has tallied the votes and certified the election outcome, would impose unquestionable harm on the defendants, and the State’s voters,”—Michael Scudder, 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Two other appellate court judges appointed by Republican presidents agreed with him.

I’m surprised Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley haven’t stepped up.

It needs to be done, but, the objection simply allows for a 2 hour debate. I believe that a vote then follows. Having the debate and not winning the vote leaves the election as it stands now.

I just cannot see 50 + VP votes in the Senate. No way Romney, Sasse, Cornhole, Collins, McConnell, and many other President haters will listen to the fraud evidence and then vote correct this wrong.

Amen.
The original trial judge, also Trump appointee said in his ruling: “A sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration, issues he plainly could have raised before the vote occurred.

This court allowed the plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits. In his reply brief, plaintiff ‘asks that the Rule of Law be followed.’ It has been.”—U.S. District Court Judge Brett Ludwig, Eastern District of Wisconsin
