Congressional Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama has said publicly that he and other senators plan to challenge the electoral college vote in Congress on January 6. So far, several members of the House of Representatives have announced that they will challenge the election results that day, but no Member of the Senate has made a public statement.
“You’re going to see what’s going on, you’re going to see what’s going on in the House of Representatives, and we’re going to need to challenge the election in the Senate,” Duberville told the audience after a rally in Georgia, according to multiple U.S. media outlets on Thursday.
“My friends, let’s hang in there,” Duberville said. “We have no choice — listen to me — we have no choice but to win. They were going to steal the election… They are doing everything they can to lie and steal elections… Everything that has happened has been unbelievable, but we are going to put it right.”
Before he was elected to the Senate, Duberville was a well-known football coach and former president of the American Football Coaches Association.
In response to Duberville’s speech, U.S. President Donald Trump praised him, saying, “It’s because he’s a champion and a brave man. More Republican senators should join him. The Republicans won by a landslide and got cheated out – but we caught them. Do something!”
Before that, two Alabama congressmen, Mo Brooks and Barry Moore, announced that they would challenge the electoral college vote on January 6.
In an interview with Newsmax on Wednesday, Brooks said he had spoken to several senators himself and was optimistic that there would be a joint congressional challenge to the outcome on Jan. 6. Brooks did not say which senators he spoke to.
Under U.S. electoral law, when at least one U.S. House of Representatives and more than one U.S. Senator object to an electoral college vote submitted by any state on January 6, both chambers will debate whether to accept the electoral college vote to challenge the disputed election results.
Georgia Representative Nancy Green also praised Senator Doberville’s comments, tweeting, “Let’s head to the target, Doberville!”
On Thursday, Ms. Brooks and 18 members of The House of Representatives issued a letter informing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Speaker Mitch McConnell that Congress would need to hold more election fraud investigation hearings by January 6 in order to legally examine election issues.
In addition to the two Alabama representatives, the letter was signed by 17 congressmen from Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio and Tennessee.
“Our letter asks recipients to be prepared to hold more hearings on election investigations and election content theft so that members of Congress and senators have sufficient knowledge of any questions about the legitimacy of the election that are before Congress,” Brooks said.
Representative Moore forwarded the letter and said, “January 6 at 1 p.m. will be an important day for our country! I and other members of Congress will be joining Brooks and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
