Whether the results of the vote count are available on the day of the 6-1 decision or if it is interrupted is a great question.
More than 140 Republicans, including a group of 11 senators led by Senator Ted Cruz, have pledged to challenge the electoral votes of “at least one state” during the parliamentary count. The counting of votes will begin at 1:00 p.m. on January 6, United States time, which is 1:00 a.m. as of January 7 in Vietnam.
Plan challenge 6 states
According to Fox News, a group of congressmen led by Representatives Jim Jordan, Mo Brooks and Elise Stefanik promised to challenge the election results “in at least one state.”
CNN, the New York Times, and several other previously pro-Democrats also put this information in the direction of criticism.
The number given by CNN is up to 140 congressmen. Two exclusive Fox News sources (Republican officials) on January 5 revealed more remarkable information: About 100 congressmen planned to challenge the results in six states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin.
Still, this plan needs balanced coordination from senators. Mr. Cruz’s team is still discussing which state outcome should be questioned and has not yet reached a final conclusion.
Previously, the group threatened to challenge the electoral votes of “at least one state” if the US Congress does not form an emergency inspection committee within 10 days of the election results. Private Senator Josh Hawley also promised to challenge own on January 6.
Meanwhile, many other Republican senators have declared not participating in contesting the result.
“The court, not the parliament, has the right to resolve disputes related to electoral votes,” declared Senator John Hoeven. Many other Republicans also resent the defiant group’s actions.
The Electoral College Law of 1887 establishes that the counting of votes will be suspended if a senator and a senator express in writing doubts about the electoral ballot of a certain state.
At that time, the Senate and House of Representatives will withdraw to a separate meeting, discuss the charges, and vote.
With a maximum time limit of 2 hours per session, each congressman has a maximum of 5 minutes to present a unique presentation for each argument.
After that time, if the accusations are denied, the president of the upper house, the vice president, will continue to count the electoral votes. If the allegations are approved, there will be a bicameral vote.
According to the Associated Press, if the Republican Congress questions the results in six states, it can delay the vote count for up to 12 hours.
Fear of instability increased
Before the day of the recount of votes, many supporters of President Donald Trump rushed to protest in Washington DC. The National Guard in the capital is expected to mobilize to ensure there is no shift on January 6.
Police also issued a statement emphasizing that they are not preventing Trump supporters from protesting, “but rather leaving their weapons at home when they go down the street.” Trump has also announced that he will be at this massive rally.
In addition to CNN, the New York Times, which “biases” Trump, several other neutral newspapers also claim that Republican efforts will not change the election results with the victory belonged to Mr. Joe Biden. The internal Republican Party also expressed division as the closer the vote counting day got, the more congressmen expressed their opposition to challenging the electoral college results.
According to Fox News, MPs are challenging to understand what they are doing and where the result is heading, but still want to. The resulting challenge is a legal rule and they will use it to “restore the confidence of the American people in the elections.”
Vice President Mike Pence, who will lead the session on January 6, issued a statement supporting opposition to the election results in accordance with the authority allowed by law.
Whether or not the 6-1 election results will be confirmed by Mr. Pence on January 6 is the question of most concern today.
Loyal warrior Mike Pence is torn between Donald Trump and the United States Constitution over the other.
The AP news agency commented on Pence’s role in the vote counting session on January 6.
