NEW YORK (PNN) - December 15, 2020 - Monday during an appearance on Fox Business News' Lou Dobbs Tonight, Rep. Mo Brooks (Alabama) vowed not to go down without a fight despite states having certified Electoral College results earlier in the day; those votes have not yet been counted so no result currently exists.
Brooks told host Lou Dobbs about his effort to challenge the Electoral College, which has happened as recently as 2017 after President Donald Trump won the presidential election.
“Well, it’s happened many times in the past,” Brooks said. “Apparently, some folks have not done their history. By way of example, the Democrats in the House tried it in 2017 when they tried to strike Alabama’s votes for Donald Trump. Georgia, the same way, the House Democrats tried to strike it. Barbara Boxer tried to strike Ohio for George Bush back in 2005, so this is not unusual. The law is very clear, the House of Representatives in combination with the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) Senate has the lawful authority to accept or reject Electoral College vote submissions from states that have such flawed election systems that they’re not worthy of our trust.”
