Cotton breaks with conservative colleagues who will oppose electoral vote count
The Hill ^

Posted on 01/03/2021 9:23:54 PM PST by springwater13

Cotton warned that if Congress threw out the electoral votes of states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where President Trump has alleged without evidence widespread election fraud, it would “take away the power to choose the president from the people.”

He said it would imperil the Electoral College and the voice it gives to smaller states like Arkansas and help Democrats “achieve their longstanding goal of eliminating the Electoral College.”

He said Congress if overrides the Electoral College’s vote, it would “take another big step toward federalizing election law.”

“Thus, I will not oppose the counting of certified electoral votes on Jan. 6,” he said.

Your FR home page convinces me you are entirely too weird for me to converse with you. You are far too quick to judge about my eyesight when you only want to know what some anon Q Ball cult feeds you every now and then that puts you right into a deep sound sleep. You seem to be oblivious to the obvious and hopefully you will someday snap out of it. That is all!!!

Said the sleepy shleprock that can't connect the Tom Cotton dots.

Bro, you aren't part of the solution. You're part of the problem.

Sen. Cotton is 100% correct on this.

The mechanism to fix the election fiasco is in the state legislatures, not Congress.

When I cast a vote for President of the United States, the last thing I want is to have a bucket full of @ssholes in Congress override it. And that sentiment cuts across party lines, too.

Thanks for posting. Cotton is a more of a Constitutionalist than most. So.. an inflammatory article to divide. Looks like the media beats us again.

Cotton has been paid off by the Deep State.

I’ve never trusted Cotton because he was trying to sabotage Trump’s campaign in the summer of 2016. He attended a summit or something off the Carolina coast where they were trying to find a way to make sure Trump didn’t win.

"Republicans have to have enough evidence to convince both houses to order the commission to investigate. I think that evidence is there. Pulitzer's and other's testimony to Georgia's Senate hearing was compelling..."

The evidence is there - and Trump will no doubt have more things to reveal over the next 3 days.

My worry this morning is that Dems & Deep State have something planned over the next 48 hours to take everyone's attention off the 6th. What will they try as a "Squirrel!" tactic? An explosion in Atlanta? A riot near MaraLago?

Agree. These Quisling senators are going to K Street and stuffing their pockets with Chicoms lobbyist cash while the election is stolen.

Cotton has had two months to pressure state legislatures. Has he? Nope.

Tom Cotton wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to strike a conservative pose for voters while keeping the establishment money channels open for a POTUS run.

Tom Cotton has spent the last 4 years as a member of the highly corrupt Senate intel committee. That alone should disqualify him from further public service.
