GOP Lawmaker Will Challenge Electoral Vote

“Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) has been telling colleagues and allies that he plans to challenge the Electoral College votes when Congress officially certifies Joe Biden’s victory on Jan. 6, as long as a Senate Republican joins him in the long-shot effort,” Politico reports.

“Brooks confirmed his plans in a phone interview, adding that he is still considering objecting to the vote-counting process even if no one joins him — though he acknowledged that would be more of a symbolic protest. Brooks, echoing President Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud without providing evidence, argued that the election was ‘badly flawed’ and that most mail-in voting is ‘unconstitutional.'”

Said Brooks: “In my judgment, if only lawful votes by eligible American citizens were cast, Donald Trump won the Electoral College by a significant margin, and Congress’s certification should reflect that. This election was stolen by the socialists engaging in extraordinary voter fraud and election theft measures.”
