Dozens of House members to challenge Electoral College results!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 28, 2020 - Rep. Mo Brooks (Ala.), the Republican leader of a plan to challenge Electoral College votes on January 6, said that dozens of House members are going to sponsor a measure to object.
“There are dozens in the House of Representatives who have reached that conclusion, as I have; we’re going to sponsor and co-sponsor objections to the Electoral College vote returns,” said Brooks.
The move, which must occur during the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021, requires a member of the House and a member of the Senate. So far, Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville (Ala.) has suggested he might join Brooks and the other GOP House lawmakers. Senator Rand Paul (Kent.) has suggested he might as well.
“The real issue is whether we have any senators who have done their homework and have studied what has transpired… that there has been massive voter fraud and election theft unlike anything we have seen in (Amerikan) history,” Brooks said.
“It is sad to the extent that we’ve got Republicans who are unwilling to do their homework or unwilling to make tough decisions,” Brooks said. “If (they) would do (their) homework, (they) would understand that the evidence is overwhelming, and (they) can either surrender to the people who support voter fraud elections or (they) can fight for (their) country on this particular issue.”
For weeks, Brooks has said he isn’t giving up his plan to object to the electoral results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona.
The challenge has been used by Democrats in past elections, the most recent being against former President George W. Bush’s election in 2004.
Brooks previously said that he believes the Electoral College vote can be rejected, and the election can ultimately be decided in the House of Representatives.
In making the case, Brooks referred to a 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform report from former President Jimmy Carter and James Baker - a former Reagan regime official - that warned against fraudulent elections.
“They identified the very same problems that we faced in this election that they warned us that this was going to happen,” he said.
