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.”
“Thus far, no justice, judge or fact finder has found evidence indicating the election results in those states should be overturned.”
And that’s because no one has found the extent of the possible, including already proven instances of fraud, to any extent. The people like us are not asking to overturn the election. We are asking for a legal election that can be certified without question when irregularities have surfaced and are already admitted to, display a question as to the legitimacy of the election. And the only way to do that, is to recount every vote. For someone to say they are omnipotent is not what he’s saying. He’s saying, the election was finalized correct because he didn’t see enough fraudulent actions so he doesn’t see where that matters and as no one of authority has said so as legal people have thrown out cases without investigation. And the bad part is he is representing the people of SC and he isn’t by not asking the questions based upon what is already in the public eye. He has failed the US.

Add another to the list of those to primary in the future.
Well, since he is our senator, I will simply vote for a Democrat next time. At least we will know what we are getting.
The REAL questions to ask are ...
1. How much money has the CCP paid you?
2. How many Chinese spy hookers have you had sex with?
3. Have you been promised that you will never lose another election? (Internet fraud/Dominion)
“According to Guo, China is engaged in a three-pronged campaign of subversion in the United States he labeled “Blue-Gold-Yellow,” with each color standing for a different line of attack.
Blue represents large-scale Chinese cyber and internet operations while gold represents China’s use of money and financial power. The yellow is part of a plan to use sex to undermine American society.”
Rumor... he’s been outspoken against Trump many times.
Scott is off my list of candidates to Support!
Go ROT!
Better reread that document their Tim.
Absolutely. I have always had big doubts about him.
Tim Scott is another major effing disappointment.
Trump was always praising Scott, and he seemed to enjoy the confidence. So now we know the real Tim Scott, appointee of Nicki Haley.
Never liked Tim Scott nor trusted him.
He’s got his head so far up Lindsey Graham’s butt that he smells like a rainbow fart.
Post #17 has been taken down by authorities so I can't review the context of the original comment now. At the time it didn't strike me as mean-spirited.
Some people have contended that black people are pressured to act a certain way and vote a certain way or
face hostility and personal repercussions. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas - who frequently votes in a way considered conservative - is cited as an example of a black man that has been punished, or at lease criticized, for not acting and voting the “proper way.”
Liberals vehemently deny that they attempt to enforce a plantation mentality among their constituencies. So I do need to acknowledge their denials.
Not a good idea to alienate 90% of the party base, Tim Scott.
Mealy-Mouthed Wimp Alert!
I walked Away from the GOP last month.....why be part of this? Seriously. What’s the point of primarying these people when you get the same results...INSANITY! Let me know when there’s a NEW party!

Quote: “Easily disapproved, at least two courts heard the facts.”
Ok, which two and at what stage of the case did they hear the facts?
Odawg, you are mistaken. I reside in South Carolina and I believe that you judge a person by the content of their character not the color of their skin as Martin Luther King Jr. stated.
I am disappointed by Sen. Tim Scott’s decision to accept a fraudulent election. The content of a person’s character is important to me.
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.”
