It will be a long time before the Republican Party is trusted again!
Despite the fact that in 59 court cases Trump's attorneys were unable to provide evidence of fraud; the attorney general of the United States, Trump's lawyer, Bill Barr, ruled there was little evidence of election fraud; the Supreme court with three judeges appointed by Trump declared insufficient evidence to bring the case forward; and all 50 states certified the election results, most of them with a Republican government; twelve Senators have decided to challenge the results of the fair election.
In addition, the cyber security director at DHS declared the election free of fraud. He was fired by the Republican President.
In addition, 140 Republican members of the House will challenge the election results.
So, a substantial part of the Republican Party is challenging the will of the American people, attempting to violate the 12th Amendment of our Constitution, and they wish to break a few of our federal laws.
This will be remembered for a long time!
It is logical to ask, why is the Republican Party doing this? Why is it they are forcing Republicans who recognize reality when they see it to vote against the Republican President while defending the Democratic President-elect?
Here is their statement.
Congress should immediately appoint an Electoral Commission, with full investigatory and fact-finding authority, to conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states. Once completed, individual states would evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.
Accordingly, we intend to vote on Jan. 6 to reject the electors from disputed states as not 'regularly given' and 'lawfully certified' ... unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed.
They offer no basis for the need of a "full investigatory and fact-finding authority or an emergency 10-day audit of election returns" while completely ignoring the judicial history of the election.
Typical of Trump Republicans, they just say it as if that was sufficient basis.
On Jan. 5, voters in Georgia will decide if Republicans control the Senate for the next two years.
