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.

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

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.

It is not a bad thing though, for US senators and reps to publicly challenge the certification and say there was fraud. 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.

Election fraud is the kind of thing that people don’t want to believe at first - like hearing a friend hits his wife. People want to believe it’s just a nasty rumor. They might even get mad that people would gossip about a friend.

But once it becomes clear that it might actually be true, then people’s protective instinct kicks in, and they want to get to the bottom of it.

I was talking to a Trump hater who said this is all just Trump and his supporters refusing to face the fact that he lost.

I asked him - if it was stolen wouldn’t you want to know? He paused and said yes. I said that’s all we ask is that the truth be uncovered - whatever that is. Maybe it was stolen maybe it wasn’t - but we need to find out.

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.
