Eh, I don't know about that. The "Siege" certainly upset the apple cart but I don't believe they ever had the votes in the House to begin with.







Lost in the news of the Capitol melee was the last minute petition by legislative leaders of the majority parties in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona for Pence and Congress to delay certification:

More than 100 state legislators ask Pence to delay certification of electoral votes by 10 days: Lawmakers say they want more time to investigate the irregularities that occurred in their respective states.

quote:

"The U.S. Constitution gives us authority to determine how elections are run," he added. "All of that assumes the law is going to be followed by those who implement it. And now that we know the law wasn't followed in this election, so as state legislators is it up to us to determine did that have any effect on the outcome, to hold those people who didn't follow the law accountable and to make sure in the future those laws are followed."


Couple this with the fact that the executive branch in all of these swing states repeatedly ignored court orders, sandbagged legislative subpoenas, destroyed evidence and otherwise blatantly ignored election laws and the claims of an illegitimate election has not only NOT been disproven, it has scarcely been investigated.

Sure, but the “riot” shouldn’t have changed that. We live in a world where everything is based on emotion and feelings. Elected officials rarely act like adults. It’s embarrassing.




Or, maybe 90% of them were looking for an excuse not to have the debate to begin with.

The dems wanted it to happen and assisted in order to shift the focus from their theft of the presidency to frame DJT.
The dems have electoral cheating sanctioned at state level and can use that card anytime in future.

This is how things are operated now. When the conversation might take place, have an event that stops it, and it never resurfaces.
