House Republicans do not plan to sit back quietly when the time comes for Congress to certify the results of the Nov. 3 presidential election, according to Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama.
Brooks spoke about his plans in an interview Monday on Fox News.
“The evidence is overwhelming and compelling that there has been serious voter fraud and election theft in this election in a number of different ways,” Brooks told “Fox & Friends.”
“There are dozens in the House of Representatives who have reached that conclusion, as I have,” Brooks added. “We’re going to sponsor and co-sponsor objections to the Electoral College vote returns of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and maybe more depending on where we collectively want to go.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden has already won sufficient Electoral College votes to be the presumptive winner of the Nov. 3 vote.
However, the Trump campaign has insisted that there has been voter fraud in multiple states.
Despite numerous claims of voting irregularities, including affidavits alleging fraud sworn to by reported eyewitnesses, no court has yet ruled that widespread fraud materially affected the results of the presidential election.
The fate of the Republican rebellion against the Electoral College’s vote is less certain in the Senate.
“I just don’t think it makes a lot of sense to put everybody through this when you know what the ultimate outcome is going to be,” Senate Majority Whip John Thune of South Dakota told reporters lat week, National Review reported.
But Brooks wants senators to do their homework.
“The real issue is whether we going to have any senators who have done their homework, who have studied what has transpired to the point where they understand as we do that there has been massive voter fraud and election theft unlike anything we have seen in American history,” Brooks said.
Brooks said critics such as Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois should look deeper into the election.
“It is sad to the extent that we’ve got Republicans who are unwilling to do their homework or unwilling to make tough decisions,” Brooks said. “And unfortunately, Adam Kinzinger falls in that ballpark.
“If he would do his homework, he would understand that the evidence is overwhelming, and he can either surrender to the people who support voter fraud and election theft or he can fight for his country on this particular issue.
“There is nothing more important to the republic than having an election system that is honest and accurate,” he said, citing a 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform report from former President Jimmy Carter and former Reagan administration official James Baker that warned against fraudulent elections.
“They identified the very same problems that we faced in this election, they warned us that this was going to happen,” he said.
In a separate interview, Brooks said that his concerns run deeper than the outcome.
“That is a horribly shallow argument that is thoughtless,” Brooks told AL.com. “The key, if you are a thinking individual, is to examine whether or not there has been voter fraud and election theft. And the evidence is overwhelming and compelling that voter fraud and election theft has plagued this 2020 election cycle unlike any time in American history.”
Brooks said he is acting from “love of country. We are a republic. And elections are the critical underpinning of any republic.”
It’s so obvious many are part of the steal of this election and most likely many before.
They’re all corrupt to the bone and or have been threatened.
Look forward to seeing what Trump’s next move it.
Don’t they need at least one senator to sign on?
Hope they don’t all oppose at once, string it out for hours.
Make them follow procedure.
I’m about ready for President Trump to declare Martial Law with a No Bag limit on Antifa/BLM members.
Two claim to be on board butt.......it ain’t that simple.
Most people don’t believe Biden won the election, unless they were trained to be dumb.
The fate of the Republican rebellion against the Electoral College’s vote is less certain in the Senate.
It will be the greatest mistake in their political career pick a party.
I read that McC is “educating” Tuberville, but maybe Tuberville knows that challenging the fraud is “good politics” in AL.
They do - and where are they?!
Hopefully some brave Senators are just staying low under the radar until January 6th. Otherwise... they’ve ALL FAILED us. Every damn one of them.
Why haven’t Paul, Cruz, Hawley, and Blackburn come forward on this?
If he does, that’s pretty clearly the end of the republic right there. On the other hand, letting a stolen election stand is also an end to the republic as well.
Once the left get the senate and all bets are off as to where this country goes, but they will tear it up like nothing we’ve ever seen before.
Question is, what’s your poison?
All this will do is cause a vote where at best the House and Senate will split. Then the default, delivered counts will be used due to the state legislatures not doing their duty.
I will ask Senator Lindsey if he will. He has been full of surprises lately.
“voting irregularities”
~~~
You cannot combat the MSM/DNC narrative that there hasn’t been “widespread” fraud with soft language like “irregularities”.
They flipped a handful of States by targeting a limited number of locations, but flipped enough electoral college votes to STEAL the election.
No, it wasn’t “widespread”. It didn’t have to be.
No it’s not just “irregular”. It is intolerable!
Your on the right track my friend.....it won’t go smoothly that’s for sure. I was thinking false bomb threat just to run out the clock. Or broken water pipe....that one seems to have been effective...in a despicably evil way.
Maybe, but we’ll know the names of the gutless wonder GOPee. And, maybe we can run their sorry asses off or start a new Party.
I hope that members both the House and Senate understand the objection must be in writing.
Good.
“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
I'm sure it's good politics... in 2021, but Tuberville isn't up for re-election until 2026, and in the meantime Mitch can make his life and career impossible. Tuberville is in for an education I'm afraid. My money is on Mitch.
