[QUOTE="Sportello, post: 4741482, member: 55299"] Did you ever take a civics class in HS? Let me educate you, since you obviously are misinformed as to what actually happened. It's a 2 minute listen. Historically, I only know of Sen Boxer's objection in 2005 over voting rights. The Democrats never contested the election results. In 1969, a Republican Elector switched his vote to Wallace from Nixon. Of course, as I'm sure you know, 1876 was another matter altogether, but not really applicable to the 2021 situation. You're welcome for the education, hope you learned something.

MCGOVERN: Mr. President, the objection is in writing, signed by a member of the House of Representatives, but not yet by a member of the United States Senate. BIDEN: In that case, the objection cannot be entertained. INSKEEP: Biden made this ruling again and again. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) JAMIE RASKIN: Electoral votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not lawfully certified because they violated Florida's prohibition against dual office holding. BIDEN: The debate is out of order. KING: Finally, there was an objection over the vote from Georgia. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) BIDEN: The objection cannot be entertained. PRAMILA JAYAPAL: Mr. President, the objection is signed by a member of the House, but not yet by a member of the Senate. BIDEN: Well, it is over.[/I] [/QUOTE]
