VP Mike Pence Just Issued Statement…The Fight is on!
Epoch Times via Populist Press ^ | 01/02/2021

Vice President Mike Pence said he welcomes efforts by lawmakers to challenge Electoral College results in the upcoming congressional joint session on Jan. 6, when the votes are formally counted, according to a statement sent by his chief of staff to reporters.

Vice President Chief of Staff Marc Short issued the statement on Saturday saying that Pence, who will be presiding over the Jan. 6 session as president of the senate, is open to considering planned objections by Republican House members and senators to Electoral College votes cast for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Short added that the vice president also welcomes efforts by lawmakers to present evidence of election irregularities and alleged voter fraud before Congress during that session.

“Vice President Pence shares the concerns of millions of Americans about voter fraud and irregularities in the last election,” Short said in the statement sent to media outlets.

This comes after a group of 11 Republican senators announced their intention to challenge the electoral college votes from contested states earlier on Saturday. The group, led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), said the 2020 election “featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations, and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.”

The allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election “exceed any in our lifetimes,” they said, adding that this “deep distrust” of U.S. democratic processes “will not magically disappear” and “should concern us all,” whether or not elected officials or journalist believe the allegations.

“It poses an ongoing threat to the legitimacy of any subsequent administrations,” the senators wrote in their statement, while calling on Congress to appoint an electoral commission to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election results.

“The Vice President welcomes the efforts of members of the House and Senate to use the authority they have under the law to raise objections and bring forward evidence before the Congress and the American people on January 6th.” 2/2

My bastard senators don’t respond to me (Idaho). I thought they’d be in the vanguard. I’ll call and write again.

Tell me!

I am in CA, I write letters to Feinstein, which likely never get to her eyes.

Kamala? LOL, I should write her just because, but she would likely swat team me with a drop of a dime, just to be able to cackle about it later.

However, I do write to my congressman, (RAT) as well as a few neighboring ones (mixed).

I also wrote to each GA Senator.

Tomorrow I will send a thank you for the 12 senators in suppost, and likely will submit a letter to the remainder asking them to do their constitutional responsibilities and LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE THIS TIME!

Currently looking for contact info for the AZ supes, going to ask them what they are hiding from the forensic audit.

Hoping it does not come to rioting in the streets, but the choices are getting slim.

You are correct, and I am disappointed in Pence, who I had hoped would learn and follow the ways of Trump across the past four years.

Every elected Republican needs to be on record as Traitor or Patriot.

What about females and #2? Just be prepared, and let any organizers you know to be aware of these things and plan for them. Above all, stay safe! Bless you for going - I am not able to, but certainly would I I could. I will be burning up phone lines, though.

Not sure I trust Mr. Pence or any D.C. politician.

ONLY 11 ??????????????????

First of all, they only need one from each house.

Secondly, there is a plan afoot, no doubt.

Thirdly, Trump just had a conference call about Jan. 6th. Any guess as to what they talked about?

And finally, as the vast evidence of fraud is let loose, and the dems seem to have no juice for the fight and no evidence to the contrary, we just may witness a patriotic miracle of even more Republicans glomming on.

“...the election committees, in others, the executive branch, or the judicial branch which prevented transparent replication...”

One of the biggest mistakes is that the elections are being treated as private. Each determination of success is based upon the state’s over control of the results. And then, apparently, there is no required audit trail.

Our founders openly put a leash on corruption in the states with the electoral college, not a cage for them. In their innocents, they never dreamed of such a wide spread use of almost everything possible that could be covered up to compromise an election. They didn’t have voting machines that could be changed, nor a mail service that could certify illegal ballots, or trucks to carry ballots from drop boxes and dump them on the road or even try to take them out of the country, or a court system in each location to keep the overseers from one party out of the verification process of each vote.....lot more.

One of the main problems is that one party has learned how to change the point spread. Originally, they concentrated on certain states that controlled the most electoral college vote amounts. And for years that worked. They also learned that control of either of the houses of congress could stop the other party’s intent. They also learned that controlling the courts could keep their antics “in the dark.” All have led to where we are now.

You are so right when you say they can’t replicate. In the courts that we know, that equates to no evidence even though everyone from the local hermit in the cave to the highest levels of governments all over the world know what happened. And it can be proven except for one thing....how much. And the answer to that has been not enough corruption to change the election. But does that make any difference? Of course....to honest people. How does the voter know how much “corruption” has been accomplished? They should, it’s their country and they should be making the decision, not people with the agenda of themselves rather than the people.

There has been a proven record of problems with this election process. The only way to do it right, is to freeze everything, seal the voting machines and forget them, and hand count each and every legal ballot, by hand, and witnessed. That’s what they intended in 1787. Why mess with the easiest and surest? And the GOP needs to get up off their back sides and get it done. They need to accomplish the job they were sent to D.C. to do, represent the people. And all the people, not any particular party especially the one for their self interests. They get all the warm fuzzies of the job. Start earning it.
