Happy New Year Everyone.
Although as my mother suggested in a social media post, the new year really does not start in this country until Joe Biden and Kamala Harris get sworn in on January 20, 2021.
Despite that reality, apparently close to 150 Know-Nothing Trump Zone "Republicans" plan to object to the Biden/Harris November 3, 2020 win when Congress considers the Electoral College count on January 6, 2021.
Apparently, there are about 140 House "Republicans" and close to a dozen "Republican" Senators who will consider voting against counting the Electoral College votes.
This decision by close to 150 seditious mice following the Pied Pieper of Trumpism is insane.
There is no valid reason to contest Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's November 3, 2020 win.
The Biden/Harris Ticket won the Popular Vote by more than seven million votes.
They won the Electoral College by the same margin as the Trump/Pence ticket in 2016.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence have never won the popular vote.
Despite over 60 court hearings (where the Trumpists have won only once) and numerous baseless charges of election rigging, no wide-scale voter fraud has been found in any state at levels that would affect the Electoral College outcome. Some of these court decisions were given by Trump appointees including the three on the United States Supreme Court.
2000 and 2016 Popular Vote Winners Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, because of questions in Florida (Gore) and Russian interference (Clinton) had better claims to pursue challenging the Electoral College in Congress.
They did not.
There are several reasons these 150 "Republican public servants" are acting this way. Some like Senator Josh Hawley, as Senator Ben Sasse has pointed out, are planning to object because they (chuckle, chuckle) want to be the Republican Presidential Nominee in 2024. Others like Louie Gohmert and Mo Brooks are doing this because they are Know-Nothing Trump Zone-Fox Island-Disinfowar Residents who actually believe all the baseless charges of voter fraud. Others in the former Party of Lincoln are going along with this travesty because they fear being primaried in 2022 by a candidate favored by Donald Trump.
Not one of the reasons explained above justifies this unprecedented reckless attempt to sow doubt in the legitimate election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
These objections will not change the election outcome.
Joe Biden will become President on January 20, 2021.
Kamala Harris will become Vice President on that date as well.
The country needs to heal from the four years of Donald Trump and, if Democrats prevail in both Senate runoff elections in Georgia on January 5, 2021, the obstruction of Republican oligarchs and plutocrats.
These 150 Know-Nothing and seditious members of the "Republican Party" are not putting the country ahead of self-interest.
They are stoking division and potentially further propelling the growth of fringe reactionary and domestic terrorist groups that will tear at the Nation's fabric.
All to keep power and make nice with the Chief Executive Demagogue-Liar in Chief-Twice KKK endorsed candidate-Twice Popular Vote Loser-Aspiring Duce-Individual One.
Shame on them.
Remember who votes against the Electoral College count on January 6, 2020, and fight to vote them out of office across the country in 2022.
