t r u t h o u t - Conyers to Object to Ohio Electors, Requests Senate Allies
This whole past year was excruciating and I understand that many people would love to just (sorry about this) "move on," but tomorrow is a very important day in the aftermath of a hotly contested Presidential election. Tomorrow, Congress will convene to ratify the votes of the Electoral College and certify a winner. Representative John Conyers (Democrat from Michigan) will object to the counting of the Electors from Ohio, "due to numerous unexplained irregularities in the Ohio presidential vote, many of which appear to violate both federal and state law."
Four years ago, not a single Senator stepped up to add their voices to the objections of House Members to Florida's Electors. It is fair to say that there will be far greater pressure this year on a number of Senators, and it will be interesting to see if any of them take up the challenge and let our constitutional electoral process follow its course, or if they will (in the name of political expediency) "go along to get along."
"The Senators who shall receive the greatest focus from Conyers in this matter are Biden, Bingaman, Boxer, Byrd, Clinton, Conrad, Corzine, Dodd, Dorgan, Durbin, Feingold, Harkin, Inyoue, Jeffords, Kennedy, Kerry, Lautenberg, Leahy, Levin, Lieberman, Mikulski, Nelson (FL), Jack Reed, Harry Reid, Rockefeller, Sarbanes, Stabenow, Wyden and Obama."
