A few days ago, three Republican federal congressmen said they would vote against Biden in the Jan. 6 presidential certification session of Congress, rejecting the Electoral College vote. They also said that “more and more” members of Congress will come forward to challenge the results of the November 3 election.
Georgia Congressman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene told The Epoch Times, “We have three people who have publicly stated that they will refuse to certify Joe Biden for the Electoral College. The Epoch Times. I have a very strong feeling that we’re going to have a lot more people (declining to certify Biden).”
“You’re going to see that number grow because I’m talking to a lot of people. 75 million Americans voted for President Trump and now 70 percent of that number feel that the election was stolen and that fraud took place. I know we have a big problem with that in Georgia. So I think the American people will absolutely support our efforts.” Green said.
“I never dreamed that they would actually try to steal the election results.” Greene went on to say, “We need to get this right, no matter who ends up winning. The American people need to have confidence in the election process.”
In addition to Greene, the other two lawmakers who have publicly stated their intention to challenge the election results are, respectively, Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks (R) and Congressman-elect Barry Moore (R).
“As the process becomes more public and the media starts to cover our voices, I think there will be good conservatives, ethical people (joining us), and I’d love to see some Democrats join us,” Moore told the Epoch Times, “and certainly some people who say that they’re going to support President Trump on the campaign trail – it’s time to step up and make sure we get this right.”
Green and Moore will be sworn in on Jan. 3 next year, three days before Congress certifies the election results.
Under federal law, individual members of the House and Senate have the right to challenge the election results, but at least one member of each chamber is required to reject the Electoral College vote at the Jan. 6 session of Congress in order to move forward with congressional consideration of the election results.
Then, under the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, the House of Representatives will decide on the president and the Senate will decide on the vice president. The House of Representatives will also adopt a “one state, one vote” approach, with the person who wins the majority of state delegations becoming the next president of the United States. Currently, the Republican Party controls at least 26 of the 50 state delegations, so it is advantageous for Trump to get a majority of votes and win re-election.
