Revision as of 18:08, January 8, 2021
In 2005, 31 Democrats in the House and one Democrat in the Senate (Barbara Boxer from California) objected to or voted against the Ohio electors who voted for the reelection of President George W. Bush.[1] In 2017, while multiple House Democrats objected to Vladimir Putin taking over U.S. elections, no Senator signed on to the Russia collusion hoax.[2]
If the election for president goes into the House, then pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment the voting is done on a state-by-state basis, where Republicans hold a 27-20 majority, with three state delegations evenly divided. See United_States_House_of_Representatives#State_Delegations_by_Party.
Rep. Mo Brooks has stated that "dozens" of representatives may join his objections to the Biden Electors,[3] and as of January some predict that more than 100 House Republicans would object.
