Full List: 77 Representatives, 13 Senators Pledge To Object To Electoral Votes<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

Ninety Republicans have committed to objecting to electoral votes during the\u00a0joint session<\/a>\u00a0of Congress on Jan. 6,<\/strong>\u00a0according to an Epoch Times tally.<\/p>\n

That includes 13 senators.<\/p>\n

Congress is convening in Washington to count ballots sent by state electors, under the Electoral College system. Congress will determine who is president-elect based on the votes.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump ran for a second term against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Objections must be in writing and have the support of at least one senator and one representative. An objection triggers a withdrawal from the joint session and a two-hour debate, followed by a vote. A majority vote in each chamber votes upholds an objection, which would nullify the contested electoral votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping that the American people get to hear just a small amount of evidence\u201d during the debates,\u00a0Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0The Epoch Times on Tuesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

House Democrats are planning to use the debate time to present their \u201cconstitutional, historical, and thematic justification for respecting the will of the people,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0colleagues in a Jan. 5 letter.<\/p>\n

A candidate must reach 270 electoral votes to win. If neither candidate does, a secondary system is triggered wherein each state\u2019s representatives combine in one vote to elect the next president. The Senate would do the same for vice president.<\/p>\n

Pelosi and fellow Democrats say Biden has already won the election. Trump and others assert the election isn\u2019t over.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Trump this week signaled he\u2019d continue challenging the election even if Biden is certified the winner by Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a rigged election, but we\u2019re still fighting it and you\u2019ll see what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0he\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0a rally in Georgia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
