How Trump's Hill allies could take one last shot to overturn the election

Source: Politico

President Donald Trump's arsenal for overturning the election will soon be down to one final, desperate maneuver: pressing his Republican allies on Capitol Hill to step in and derail Joe Biden’s presidency.

Although the Electoral College casts the official vote for president on Dec. 14, it’s up to Congress to certify the results a few weeks later. And federal law gives individual members of the House and Senate the power to challenge the results from the floor — a rarely used mechanism meant to be the last of all last resorts to safeguard an election.

But several House Republican lawmakers and aides now tell POLITICO they’re considering this option to aid Trump’s quest.

“Nothing is off the table,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).

5. It failed, among other reasons...

2. ..sounds about right for Gaetz...

Gaetz is goofy, wacko, low IQ, pathetic excuse for a United States Representative. On the same level of Gohmert in Tx who blamed wearing a mask led to his contracting the virus because he was continually having to adjust it. Trump knows the election wasn't rigged, but those guys probably believe it.

I don't see how they got elected in the first place, let alone, re-elected.

4. Well for one thing, it is Florida.

Home to the craziest of the crazy and the stupidest of the stupid.

3. Except that they fucking lost! Get over it, douchebags!
