NEWS: Sen. Hawley says he'll object to electors on Jan. 6, ensuring a debate and vote will ensue.pic.twitter.com/HIlP3EBP9V
All eyes had been on Tuberville to lodge a challenge, but Hawley jumps to the front of the line. He indicates he'll challenge Pennsylvania but doesn't say whether he'll join other challenges as well.https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/30/electoral-college-biden-trump-452081 …
Hawley is correct that House Democrats challenged the results in 2000, 2004 and 2016 — but only after 2004 did a senator (Barbara Boxer) join such a challenge, in that case to Ohio's electors. The challenge that year was easily defeated in both chambers.https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/30/electoral-college-biden-trump-452081 …
NEW: HAWLEY's challenge to at least one state's presidential electors will prolong the Jan. 6 process of certifying Biden's win. But it's extremely unlikely to do more than delay and give Trump's allies a chance to vent and force a vote.https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/30/hawley-challenge-biden-electors-forcing-vote-452319 …
Congressional leaders could establish parameters that limit the potential for Trump's allies — and Pence, who wil be presiding — to turn Jan. 6 into an all-day spectacle. But only if they're willing to deviate from dusty historical practices.https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/30/electoral-college-biden-trump-452081 …
KEY QUESTION: How many states will Hawley object to? If this were a genuine effort to change the election outcome, he would need to challenge states with enough electors to be decisive. Otherwise, it's just a protest for show.https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/30/hawley-challenge-biden-electors-forcing-vote-452319 …
UPDATE: Per @burgessev, several GOP senators are dismissing Hawley’s effort. Collins, in particular, sharply questioned his motives
"I question why he is doing it when the courts have unanimously thrown out the suits that the president's team have filed”https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/30/hawley-challenge-biden-electors-forcing-vote-452319 …
"And Sen. Hawley's a smart attorney who clerked for the Supreme Court, so he clearly understands that. So I don't understand,” Collins continued.https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/30/hawley-challenge-biden-electors-forcing-vote-452319 …
I mean it was just a matter of which one of them would give in first.
You know it's not going anywhere, right? That it's just a performance to appease you?
