No members objected to the 2024 election count after Congress raised the threshold to do so in the wake of the 2021 Capitol attack. “There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said last week.

    Funny how little fuss there was. Almost like both sides aren’t equally bad.

    Via Merriam-Webster

    Insurrection

    An act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

    Donald Trump attempted to get his supporters to overturn the election results.

    It was not a fucking riot, NBC, you spineless fucks.

      They don’t really get a choice. The only thing they get to do is say yes the votes counted up the way or no they didn’t. It isn’t like Congress gets to just decide

      Meh fuck it we won’t certify. Even if they did. Then it goes to the courts (regardless of who the justices are or who put them there, the courts will order Congress to certify the election)

      VP doesn’t have that power. Republicans were hoping Pence would do it anyway and then battle would go to courts and conservative SCROTUS would agree.

      Until 2021 that date had no special meaning and it was just mostly ceremonial.

        Why not? The Supreme Court has made it clear that there are no consequences.

            Ends poorly and ends worse than the current trajectory aren’t necessarily the same thing.
