Some Republican Senators Are on Board With Electoral College Challenge: Rep. Taylor Greene

Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said that some Republican senators will join an effort to challenge Electoral College votes when the joint session of Congress meets on Jan. 6.

The process must be initiated by requires one senator and one House representative. In addition to Greene, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) and a number of GOP House lawmakers have pledged to challenge the votes.

“We have a very strong case, and our numbers are growing strong,” she said of the effort on Dec. 22 on Newsmax. “We talked to senators, and we’re good to go for this objection.”

Greene didn’t say which senators would join the challenge. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) have both suggested they might get involved, but there’s been no public confirmation.

If an objection is filed during the joint session for key states that cast Electoral College votes for Joe Biden, each chamber will have to hold a debate for two hours on whether to disqualify a state’s votes. Then a vote will have to be held in each chamber on whether to throw the votes out.

Greene said she spoke with President Donald Trump about possibly challenging the votes, saying: “I didn’t run for Congress to sit by and be quiet, so I called the president.

“I support him, I voted for him, just like everyone else, and I’m happy to support him in this trying time.”

Term limits. If they get squishy, they must suffer loss of office sooner, rather than later.

I agree...it has to happen at the state level - in the legislatures of the contested states. They have to be convinced there was fraud and vote to decertify.

And I don't see that happening without the cover of a court ruling that the election fraud was so widespread that the election is invalid. It doesn't look like that's going to happen.

The public needs to be awakened to the fact that the election was stolen - the more people in high places stand up and speak the truth, the more the public will take it seriously.

Half the country already thinks the election was fraudulent and the other half thinks it was fine. That isn't going to change much one way or the other.

You got that right!

But not enough. No challenge on January 6th has any chance of winning in either house of Congress.

Even if the Repubs manage to successfully challenge in the Senate, the Dems will have the House no matter what, and all the official-channel elector certifications are stamped 'Biden'. So unless every Repub and several Dems vote for Trump, every contested ballot is going to stay the same. The ONLY way this works is if you get State Legislatures to pick electors themselves, or State Govs to certify the Repub slate against the current (fraudulent) vote.

And the only way that's going to happen is if some judge somewhere overturns election results due to fraud. So far none have been willing to do so.

It’s looking pretty bleak. I’m proud of the President for not giving up.

I can keep my hopes up if he can.

Pretty simple to remember if you know that, but maybe THEY can’t remember because they didn’t know it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas to you too!

I think some might not know it but the rest are anti-Trump that never post anything positive about him or the election.
