Rick Scott, R-Fla., on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmaxtv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newsmax TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he would be willing to join a House member in objecting to the Electoral College vote, Scott was noncommittal when answering host Greg Kelly on Wednesday night\u2019s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmaxtv.com\/Shows\/Greg-Kelly-Reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Greg Kelly Reports.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ll see,&#8221; said Scott, a member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that met earlier in the day. &#8220;I think today was an important day. I think Chairman [Sen.] Ron Johnson [R-Wis.] did a good job. He held an important hearing today. We heard from [former independent counsel] Ken Starr and then we heard from some individuals that gave us some information about what was going on in a couple of these states, what happened in Wisconsin and what happened in Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Moe Brooks, R-Ala., said Monday he plans to challenge the certification of the Electoral College votes on Jan. 6 when the Senate and the\u00a0House\u00a0of Representatives meet in a joint session. At least one senator must join\u00a0Brooks to force a vote on the matter. Will Scott or another Republican join the congressman?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think all of us are in the same position,&#8221;\u00a0Scott said. &#8220;What we&#8217;re doing is we\u2019re trying to get as much information as possible. We&#8217;re going to continue to watch what&#8217;s going on. We&#8217;re going to continue to listen about the fraud. We know there was a lot of fraud. If you remember in the beginning, the Democrats would say there was no fraud. Now they&#8217;re saying well, there&#8217;s not enough fraud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Scott, himself, went through a long process before securing his victory against Democrat opponent Bill Nelson two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer, [D-N.Y.], after I won the race by 54,000 votes, sent a lawyer up who said, &#8216;I really don&#8217;t care what the votes are. We&#8217;re going to win in the courts,'&#8221;\u00a0Scott said. &#8220;I had a thousand lawyers, I went through two recounts. We had to remove two supervisor of elections because of the irregularities that happened. They found 95,000 ballots illegal after election night. So, we&#8217;ve got to get the facts. We got to understand exactly what happened here. We want to make sure this election and all future elections are fair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/electoralcollege-rick-scott-fraud\/2020\/12\/16\/id\/1001924\/\">https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsmax-tv\/electoralcollege-rick-scott-fraud\/2020\/12\/16\/id\/1001924\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
