President Donald Trump (R-Texas) took to social media Twitter on Friday (Dec. 18) to call on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Republicans in Congress to get tougher on vote-theft.
Trump wrote: “Senate Majority Leader McConnell and Republican Senators must get tougher or the Republican Party will cease to exist. We won the presidential election by a wide margin. Fight for it. Don’t let them (Democrats) take it away!”
Trump also tweeted Thursday night (17), “(If things fall over,) Democrats will never tolerate Republicans stealing a presidential election!”
White House trade and industry adviser Peter Navarro released an analysis of the 2020 U.S. election on Thursday, revealing the unusual performance of six swing states.
The six swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin; the election irregularities found include: outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, controversial procedural foul play, Equal Protection Clause violations, voting machine irregularities and significant statistical anomalies.
The report said that if these election irregularities are not fully investigated and disagreed with before presidential inauguration day, the United States will never be able to hold a fair presidential election again.
McConnell’s office did not comment. McConnell publicly said Tuesday (15) that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden (Joe Biden) for president-elect, and said he did not support Republican senators to support the “anti-election theft” campaign launched by Republican members of the House of Representatives.
Trump urged Republican senators to oppose the vote on January 6
Trump also urged senators to oppose the election vote during a joint session of Congress in January on Thursday (17).
Alabama Republican U.S. Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville said Thursday he may join Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) in challenging the swing state’s electoral vote results during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6.
Trump tweeted Thursday to praise Tuberville as a man of courage and a hero. “More Republican Senators should follow his (Tuberville’s) example,” Trump wrote.
“We had a landslide (election) victory and then it (the victory) got cheated out of the hands of the Republicans, but we (are) going to catch them. Do something!” He went on to say.
At a joint session of Congress next Jan. 6, lawmakers can object to the results of state Electoral College votes, requiring at least one House member and one senator.
Because of unresolved election fraud issues, the electoral college in six major U.S. swing states and New Mexico saw simultaneous double voting on Dec. 14, with two separate groups of electors each voting for their own candidate.
On Dec. 14, the Democratic Electoral College in seven states voted for the state’s certified Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, and Senator He Jinli. But at the same time, Republican electors also announced that they were casting “alternative votes” for President Trump and Vice President Pence.
If the Senate and the House of Representatives each have a challenge to a state’s results on Jan. 6, it will trigger a two-hour exit for the two chambers to discuss the “challenge” vote separately; but unless the dissenting views get a majority in both chambers and both chambers are in favor of the “challenge,” the state’s votes will be nullified.
Many experts agree that this is unlikely to happen.
Republicans have a 50-to-48 majority in the Senate for the next Congress, and two runoff Senate races in Georgia are scheduled for Jan. 5 (the day before the joint session). Two Republican senators, Senator Loeffler and Senator Perdue, are seeking re-election.
The House of Representatives is now controlled by Democrats and will remain under Democratic control in the next House Congress. So far, none of the Democrats have said they would support raising objections.
