Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said that about 100 Republican lawmakers might vote to object to Joe Biden’s Electoral College votes when the Joint Session of Congress convenes on Jan. 6.
“I hope I’m wrong. I’m guessing it will be upwards of 100,” Kinzinger, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, said on “The Bulwark Podcast.”
“I think you’re going to have some people that come out and take a strong stand,” he said, adding that “I’m not going to be surprised if it approaches three figures.”
In the podcast interview, Kinzinger said that he does not support the initiative to object to the votes led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.). Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday said he would join their challenge, becoming the first senator to do so.
The bid requires both a senator and a representative to carry out. An objection to any state by a representative and a senator will prompt up to two hours of debate in the Senate and House on whether to accept a state’s Electoral College votes; it means that if the lawmakers object to more than one state, the procedure could last for hours.
Some GOP senators said that their challenge would fail.
“Senator Hawley has every right to object,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Fox News on Thursday. “But it’s another thing to overturn an election of another state.”
“If dead people were voting, I want the names,” Graham added. “If you’re going to retry the case in the Senate that’s already been tried in the federal courts it would be hard for me to basically take over the federal courts’ role. But I will listen and we’ll see how it comes out.”
It is racist the reject fraud
ALL should object, the fraud was undeniable.
Aw, shaddup Linda! You are a duplicitous snake.
Should be fun to recuse the newly-seated Senators who were elected using SmartMatic software in the ESS, Dominion, DieBold, etc., voting systems.
What has been tried in federal court? Every case has been dismissed without hearing the merits.
Every non-Democrat controlled State should also reject the results and declare DNC an outlaw party.
Yesterday I saw Light Loafers Lindsey (US senator, chair senate judiciary committee) saying on OAN “somebody” should look into the Hunter Biden laptop thing.
People of color who voted for Trump, including Dem Trump supporters, had their votes switched or dumped, too....
Note to the both parties: Aid and abet the disenfranchisement of these people of color at your political peril.
If dead people were voting, I want the names,”
So you can ignore them? Names have been given. You and the rest run and hide.
Well, it's a good audition to be a member of today's media.
Damned well best be every last one of the GOP voting NOT to accept this Voter Fraud.
The Bulwark is basically The Weekly Standard, but more left-wing. Sounds like a grift targeted at squeezing out donations from lefty plutocrats:
Following the end of publication of The Weekly Standard in December 2018,[5] editor-in-chief Charlie Sykes said: “the murder of the Standard made it urgently necessary to create a home for rational, principled, fact-based center-right voices who were not cowed by Trumpism.”[6] The site was created in December 2018 as a news aggregator as a project of the Defending Democracy Together Institute, a 501(c)(3) conservative advocacy group led in part by Weekly Standard co-founder William Kristol,[7] who was a prominent voice pushing for the U.S. invasion of Iraq.[8][9] Several former editors and writers of The Weekly Standard soon joined the staff and within weeks of launch began publishing original news and opinion pieces. CNN reported in January 2019 that approximately $1 million had already been raised for the site, which was said to be adequate to keep the site running for one year but that additional funding was being sought.[4]
A podcast hosted by Sykes and executive editor Jonathan V. Last was launched on December 21, 2018.[10]
Ideology
Despite the initial editorial makeup of The Bulwark being largely from the coalition of neoconservatives and libertarians that wrote Weekly Standard, the website’s intense opposition to the administration of Donald Trump over time brought it to a more centrist stance on balance, including liberal commentators alongside the more conventional conservatism that held sway in the Republican Party from the 1950s to the mid-2010s.[citation needed] It is opposed to populist expressions of conservatism and traditionalism, particularly as expressed by Trump-aligned politicians and pundits as well as earlier exponents of those ideologies such as Pat Buchanan and Samuel T. Francis.[citation needed] ]
Not true. There has been four or five cases that evidence was presented. One in the PA circuit was decided by a conservative judge appointed by Trump. He had this to say;
“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy,” U.S. Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote Friday for the unanimous three-judge panel. “Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.”
“The Trump Presidential Campaign asserts that Pennsylvania’s 2020 election was unfair. But as lawyer Rudolph Giuliani stressed, the Campaign ‘doesn’t plead fraud. . . … [T]his is not a fraud case.’ … Instead, it objects that Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State and some counties restricted poll watchers and let voters fix technical defects in their mail-in ballots. It offers nothing more,” Bibas added.
So Giuliani keeps saying they have all this proof of fraud at every press conference or state “hearings”, when he is not under oath. But he has never filed a case in court alleging voter fraud and when asked directly about voter fraud when he is under oath he says it’s not about voter fraud. Why is that? Why does he say one thing at press conferences and another in court?
ALL should object, the fraud was undeniable.
*************
You’re right, they should. But they won’t.
The GOP will fail again, for the umpteenth time. Hopefully the base will wake up and this will be the GOP’s Waterloo. Its a soulless party with no convictions, courage or willingness to fight. No wonder the Democrats have no respect for them.
It doesn’t matter how many GOP vote for it, it only matters how many Dems are going to vote for it since they have the majority in the House.
Kinzinger is a snake in the grass.

It has to be done
