Rep. Matt Gaetz Says He Will Challenge Electoral College Votes on Jan. 6

EVERY GOP member of Congress has a duty to protect Republican votes. Period. Anyone who aids and abets the theft is an enemy.

Rep. Matt Gaetz Says He Will Challenge Electoral College Votes on Jan. 6

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said on Saturday that he plans to challenge electoral college votes when they are counted during a Joint Session of Congress on Jan. 6.

“So on January 6, I’m joining with the fighters in the Congress and we are going to object to electors from states that didn’t run clean elections,” Gaetz told a crowd during the first day of the Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit.

Republicans in Congress are considering whether to join the effort to challenge the 2020 general election results. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) initiated the push when he announced his intention to object to the electoral college votes come January, while several other Republican lawmakers from both chambers have remained open to participating in the effort.

Objections during the joint session must be made in writing by at least one House member and senator. If the objection meets requirements, the joint session pauses and each house withdraws to their own chamber to debate the question for a maximum of two hours. The House and Senate will then vote separately to accept or reject the objection, which requires a majority vote from both chambers.

If one chamber accepts and the other rejects, then according to federal law the “the votes of the electors whose appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the State, under the seal thereof, shall be counted.”

Several Republican senators have not ruled out the possibility of objection but have said that they would first monitor the developments regarding claims of voter fraud. Meanwhile, newly elected Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has previously suggested that he may join the planned objection by members of the House of Representatives.

Gaetz during his speech said that moments before the event he had spoken to Tuberville, who told him that he plans on joining the effort.

“I had a chance to speak to coach Tuberville just moments ago and he says we are done running plays from the establishment’s losing playbook and it’s time to fight,” Gaetz said.

“Now coach Tubervillve went for it a lot on fourth down when he was coaching at Auburn. They called him the Mississippi riverboat gambler. The odds may be tough, it may be fourth and long but we’re going for it on January 6.”

The lawmakers are expected to face an uphill battle with critics arguing that the strategy of adopting the alternative Republican electoral votes is a long shot as many of those votes have not been authorized by state officials.

“Under the law, both the House and Senate would need to agree to object to the real electors and accept the fake electors,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) wrote on Twitter. “There is 0.00 chance the House reverses the election.”

On Dec. 14, Republican electors in seven states cast alternate votes for President Donald Trump, setting up a new challenge for Congress when it counts the votes next month. However, critics say that the Republican votes are merely symbolic and do not have the force of the law as they have not been certified by their state officials.

The Republicans said their rationale for sending dueling electors to Congress was to preserve Trump’s legal claim in the election as his team pursues legal challenges over the counting of what they say are illegal votes.

President Donald Trump and his allies have been building a case in the courts to ensure that all concerns about voting irregularities and alleged unconstitutional actions passed by state and election officials in the 2020 election are investigated to secure confidence in the election outcome for all.

His campaign and various third parties have launched a slew of lawsuits seeking to invalidate a portion of the ballots they say were cast under fraudulent circumstances or in contravention of state election laws or the U.S. Constitution.

Many of these cases have been tossed out by judges for procedural reasons, such as lack of standing to bring a case; lack of jurisdiction to sue; mootness, where there is no longer a controversy between the parties; and laches, where a judge ruled there was a lack of diligence in bringing a claim. Other judges were not convinced by the allegations presented.

Florida Representative. There’s a reason Florida is the most awesome state.

Florida is a long way from California where I am at. Hope the California Cancer that is spreading can be stopped somehow. Amazing how people leaving California ultimately take with them their political views and inseminate them in their new communities, thus creating the same political environment that they fled. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. 🙁

No offense intended at all, but we’re hoping for some sort of holiday big one (epicenter @ Nancy Pelosi’s house) that will end the California Menace for the rest of us all for good. If California went all Atlantis on us suddenly, many of us would be substantially relieved. Get thee hence asap.

I’m nor sure if we have a fountain of youth but I am certain we have the best climate in the entire nation. Hawaii doesn’t count unless you love volcanoes.

Florida is wonderful but I would miss the four seasons. They can be annoying sometimes – snow – but it’s still a nice change. The other day we got 6″ of snow. This time we got lucky and some high school kids came around to do our shoveling. They’ll be back. Other years we get stuck doing it.

I had wanted to retire in a coastal town in New England but it’s too liberal up there. It would drive us crazy. I would have loved to have spent my remaining years up there. We loved the colonial towns etc..

Good News: Winter hits FL this year! Florida winters are not like other folks’ winters. They lack snow, snow shoveling, ice, and, usually, freezing rain. Florida is winning again. Perhaps that is why President Trump has gravitated toward this state? Like attracts like.

So far NO ONE from the SENATE has stepped up.
Where is Mr. Constitution? Rafael Cruz?
Why hasn’t he stepped up from the Senate side?
When will people see him for what he is?

Sure he offered to present the work of others had the PA case gone before the U.S.S.C. of cowards, but they chose not to hear it. It would have given him face time. The A.G. of Utah is actually helping the Trump lawsuits with his legal skills. It’s not as though they are busy in the D.C. swamp… Where is Ted Cruz? See him for what he really is. A two faced slithery snake.

You are beyond hope, an unintelligent oaf who sees good in evil, has no interest in truth and enjoys the sort of garbage and lies spouted in bucket loads by Democrat retards and low-life pukes like Joe Biden and the heaps of vomit who surround him

Not just republican, every American in the house should object to every state not running a clean election. Virginia needs to be included. Election here was as corrupt and follows the same patterns as PA, MI and the rest.

Americans who are listening and watching this attempted COUP by the D-emoKKKrat N-ational C-ommunist party “globalists” ARE LEARNING who MUST NOT be voted for in any of the up-coming elections. These “judges and politicians” who are saying: “I see no fraud” or “no standing”, MUST BE REMOVED, DISBARRED and RESTRICTED from EVERY PUBLIC OFFICE!!!!!!

any republican who will not challenge the fraud should not be seated as that makes them complicit in the fraud.
