You're talking about 2000. I'm talking 2004. See the article. Like Hawley, they said they want to "draw attention to the need for aggressive election reform in the wake of what they said were widespread voter problems."defixione wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 4:38 pmYes, but with completely different circumstances.

I can't remember, were there two senators that objected?
Whodathunk you'd be out front on this argument.
A Senator and a member of the House both voted against accepting the certified electors for Ohio. And it was so inconsequential that barely anyone remembers it happened. Keep that in mind when people scream about how awful it is that Senators are now threatening to not accept votes.

The timing of the Georgia runoffs is incredibly dangerous. We'd be in a much better spot if Republicans didn't need to pretend to not hate Trump as of the certification of the Electoral College vote.Mjl wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:03 pmA Senator and a member of the House both voted against accepting the certified electors for Ohio.

From a political viewpoint... If the Republican party is going to fracture, this may be the catalyst. Do they represent their constituents or their consciences.
