Good day all. This week the certification of the Electoral College votes is set to occur. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate will vote to accept or reject the electoral votes. As we have seen, there has been some serious questions regarding the validity of the presidential election in 2020.
There have been a number of lawsuits filed, both before and after the election that the courts have refused to hear. There are now hearings and investigations being conducted by state legislatures to determine if the voting systems were honest or if they had been rigged. There have also been calls for Congress to reject the results. Now we have Senator Ted Cruz who is demanding that an audit be conducted, and that we use the 1876 election as the precedent. Here are the details from Fox News:
Several Republican senators are vowing to challenge electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election from several battleground states when the votes are formally counted at a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, with the hopes of establishing a commission to determine who gets the votes.
Unlike what was called for by a failed lawsuit from Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, the suggestion here is not to simply overturn the election results outright and award a second term to President Trump, but rather to have an independent investigation of those states’ elections. While out of the ordinary, it would not be the first time for such a process, as it is what happened following the 1876 election, allowing Rutherford B. Hayes to become president.
“We should follow that precedent,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and 10 other current and incoming senators said in a joint statement, referring to the race between Hayes and Samuel Tilden. “To wit, 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.”
I have to admit that I was not aware of the 1876 election or the commission that was set up to look into the election in some of the states. I’ve been reading a little bit about it in Wikipedia and that election appears to have been just as much of a gawd awful mess as the one in November. I suggest following the link before the Progressive Wikipedia editors decide to rewrite it or make it go away completely. From what I’ve read so far, it actually looks like it was written as a simple historical reference.
In 1877, following the 1876 election, returns from Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina – and one elector from Oregon – were disputed. Congress then set up a commission to determine how the electoral votes should be allocated, reserving the right to accept or reject the commission’s findings. In the end, Congress awarded all 19 of the contested electoral votes to Hayes, who was elected with 185 electoral votes to Tilden’s 184.
It seems that a few Republicans are beginning to warm to this idea. (Mittens Romney is, of course, not one of them)
Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., one of the senators calling for a repeat of what happened then, outlined how it would work in a Saturday appearance on Fox News’ “Justice with Judge Jeanine.”
“We’ve asked a very simple question: Can we put together an electoral commission, have five senators, five House members, five members of the Supreme Court?” Lankford explained. “This is exactly how it was set up in 1876 when there was three states that had all kinds of fraud issues. And so the election commission was set up at that time in 1876, just like this, to be able to study it, look at it, make recommendations. We think that’s a good plan. Obviously, there are millions and millions of Americans that think there are major issues with the election.”
5 members of the Supreme Court? I know who I would choose!!
We think that’s a good plan. Obviously, there are millions and millions of Americans that think there are major issues with the election.”
It will be very interesting to see if this commission could come into being, and if so, what it might actually find. There has been a lot of work already done that could be reviewed, and if the commission is put in place, they have the ability to get the Dominion machines, their current code and their source code. If the rumors I have seen are true, that Trump voted were awarded to Dementia Joe, and the commission were to verify this, it’s all over for Dementia Joe, Heels Up Harris and frankly, the current Democrat Party.
Lankford said that he wants a commission to get to the bottom of how the election played out in these states, regardless of who the true winner is.
“No matter how this turns out, we want the facts to come out,” Lankford said. “We want to make sure every legal vote is counted and votes that aren’t legal are not counted. But regardless of where it goes at the end of it, it goes wherever the American people chose.”
And if you believe that, I have some swampland in Florida you may be interested in. The truth be told, we do need to determine what happened, and if there was fraud, and if it’s as wide spread as it appears to be, then people need to go to jail, and we need to clean up and secure the election rolls and the ballots for the next election.
The question now is, will Senator Cruz and the others get their commission or will McConnell and the Uniparty RINO’s shut it down and prevent any form of hearing into what happened? Considering that McConnell is a member of the Uniparty, my money is on him shutting it down. I don’t expect San Fran Nan to allow it to even come to a vote, knowing how corrupt she is.
There would be a very serious downside to not forming a commission and letting it work. Right now 70 million people think the election was stolen and millions more are concerned that there are some major issues that really need to be looked into no matter who actually won. If the American People can’t trust the election system, then there will be only one recourse. The opening of the 4th Box of Liberty.
