CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) on Tuesday announced that he will not oppose certification of Electoral College results cementing President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory during Wednesday’s Joint Session of Congress.
Scott is breaking with many House republicans and a few Senate republicans who plan to object to the results in some states where Biden won.
However, Scott understands that “in nearly every election across this great country, there is some modicum of error. Some errors are merely mistakes, while some are intentional, and therefore fraud.” In the case of Trump’s opposition to the results, “Thus far, no justice, judge or fact finder has found evidence indicating the election results in those states should be overturned.”
In a statement, Scott said that he is “grateful for all of the work President Trump has done for the people of this country, and [he] was proud to work with him” on multiple endeavors. But in his reading of the Constitution, he found “no constitutionally viable means for the Congress to overturn an election wherein the states have certified and sent their Electors.”
While he believes that his colleagues in opposition are well-intentioned, he disagrees “with their method both in principle and in practice.” He went on to explain that “for their theory to work, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats would have to elect Donald Trump president rather than Joe Biden. That it is not going to happen, not today or any other day.”
Scott did advocate for stronger voter protection measures, saying “there is a growing perception in this country that our elections are not as secure as they can be, and that must be remedied immediately.” As such, he believes ” the first legislative action the 117th Congress should undertake is the debate and passage of an election security and voter protection package. We must protect future elections from the same uncertainty that has plagued the 2020 election.”
“Another needing to be primaried”

Most likely, the GOPrs not objecting to the Electors either have, or are now using, or will be using Dominion in their state and they plan on giving money to the Lobbyists from Dominion.
I would primary every freaking one of them, taking a chance on getting new GOPrs into the Congress or Senate.
Treat them like dirty vice cops or dirty cops, in general. FIRE THEM.
It’s most likely asking too much for them to be indicted, charged and convicted of any corruption.
May their family members experience results of their illegal acts.
A POX UPON THEIR HOUSEHOLDs. Amen.
he said he might run in 2022 but it would be his last
Your comment looks to be the first bigoted comment of the day.
Pathetic.
Scott has much more to fear from the left and the Deep State than he ever would from conservatives. Play nice, get b*ttf*cked.
Primary his ass, SC..... he MUST go!!
Who the hell does he consider a “fact finder”? Hundreds of experts have testified UNDER OATH about blatant fraud occuring. Our republic is truly lost.
“How many justices or judges have actually given a fair hearing to the evidence?
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Answer = 0
Justices / Judges are criminals with Black robes as we have seen even before the 2020 goat screw.
Gee...wonder why?
What does the deep state have on all these people???

Can’t count on this guy.

If you don’t have an SC Address, pick a homeless shelter in the state. That is good enough for the Dems to get a voter registration card for ballet harvesting. It should be good enough to give him you piece of mind.
traitors...all of them....cowards...
Is this good for a URL.. primariedTimScott.com
Is this to hard to remember..
I’m trying to think now of where I saw the list. It was about a week or two ago.
Could it be someone who presides over a hearing involving witness testimony and cross-examination?
Did Rudy even present evidence of fraud in Court?
Another bald-faced liar.
> Has there been a full blown trial on the merits or just a lack of standing?
This is the real issue. There hasn’t been any judicial weighing on the actual substance of the allegations. The cases have simply been dismissed under this or that legal pretext.
Senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz aren’t arguing to immediately overturn the election. They’re arguing that the allegations of fraud are serious enough to warrant an emergency commission to investigate them. The commission can then make recommendations based upon their findings.
