Joe State Senator: Pence should delay counting the electoral votes

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence attends the Vice Presidential Debate at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 7, 2020.

Republican state senators in Georgia on Monday began urging a postponement of the January 6 electoral vote. At least a dozen state lawmakers and more are signing a letter to Vice President Mike Pence asking him to formally delay the vote count.

“We now have about 16 to 18 people who have signed this letter to the Vice President… asking him to postpone the count of electoral votes by 10 to 12 days.” “Senator Brandon Beach told the EPOCH Times.

“We’re going to give it to him tomorrow morning,” Mr. Beach said. “More senators might sign it.”

Beachy says he is concerned about electoral integrity. “People said, yes! There were some problems, there were some things that just didn’t look right, there were some irregularities in the voting process, there were some irregularities.”

Ballots and voting machines need to be Forensic Audit, especially in Fulton County, Mr. Beach said. His biggest concern is the vote-counting center at The State Farm arena in Atlanta. There appeared to be a lack of oversight of some of the vote-counting process because Republican monitors were told the count was over.

As it happens, Jenna Ellis, senior counsel to the Trump campaign and a member of Trump’s legal team, also advised Pence to delay certifying the January 6 electoral votes and ask legislatures in six disputed states to clarify which electoral lists should be approved.

“What Mike Pence could do, and in fact should do, is, when those six states have two competing lists of electors, send a question directly to the legislature,” said Ellis.

“He can put forward to states the question, said: ‘ok, state lawmakers, you know, I pledge to uphold the constitution, as the constitution in article 2 of 1.2, it said state legislature competent of delegates elected by way, so please tell me, the two list, which one is you specified by the state legislature. ‘” Ellis told “The Water Cooler” on “Just the News” in the US.

When Mr. Beach was asked if they had discussed anything to do with certifying the state’s electoral votes, he said, “If the vice President could accept our letter and postpone the certifying, then at the meeting we could discuss what we could do in the state Senate as a state senator.”

“Right now, we can’t do anything because we’re not having meetings.” “He added.

Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, had refused to call a special session to discuss allegations of electoral fraud and other irregularities.

Other Georgia senators, including Mr Beach, recognise that, as things stand, there is little chance of a special session in Joe’s state.

“Because Congress will be meeting with electoral votes on Wednesday, it is not feasible to hold a special session before they meet,” State Senator Kay Kirkpatrick told the EPOCH Times by email. “But I will continue to fight for the truth.”

“I try every day to understand any facts related to reports of fraud,” she added. “It is vital that we can trust our electoral system. “I have been investigating all aspects of the November 3 election and trying to get two of our senators re-elected at the same time.”

Beach said he and other senators are calling for the election to be postponed so they can “have more time to continue to investigate and scan these ballots.” The senator said he also wrote a personal letter to Pence in his capacity as a member of the state judiciary subcommittee.

State senators in other states are pushing for similar work, according to Mr. Beach. “I think a couple of senators from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona have also written to the vice president [telling him] that we want a delay of at least 10 to 12 days,” he said.

According to the Constitution, 20 January is the official date of inauguration. This is the end of the last presidential term, and the beginning of the next.

Beachy says he did it because he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Mr. Beach said his cellphone number had been posted on the site, and he had received almost no calls in eight years. But during the presidential campaign, his cell phone, email and text messages exploded in a stream of complaints.

“People are angry, they are angry, they feel disenfranchised.” “He added.
