Marjorie Taylor Greene Tells Sen. Rand Paul ‘We’d Love to Have You on Board’ For Electoral College Vote Challenge

As we’ve reported, Georgia Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene has been joined by multiple Congressmen who plan to challenge the Electoral College vote certification on January 6th, assuming that it is for Joe Biden.

On Thursday, CNN reported that Kentucky Senator Rand Paul told them that he is not ruling out joining a member of the House to object and challenge election results at the joint meeting.

They quoted Paul as saying, “We’re still looking at all the legal stuff that’s happening with the legal cases and we’ll make our decision after we’ve seen all the legal challenges.”

Greene responded to the news by tagging Paul in a tweet and stating, “We’d love to have you on board!”

The Epoch Times reported that Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson recently told reporters that he’s leaving the option open as well.

CBS News ran an article recently which pointed out that in the 2017 joint session confirming President Trump’s electoral college victory, Democratic House members, led by Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas and Barbara Lee of California, challenged the results, only to be foiled by then-Vice President Biden.

Massachusetts House Rep. Jim McGovern objected to Alabama’s results on the grounds that its electors were not lawfully certified and mentioned the debunked Russia hoax as an additional reason.

“Especially given the confirmed and illegal activities engaged by the government of Russia, designed to interfere with our election and widespread violations of the voting rights act that unlawfully suppressed thousands of votes in the state of Alabama,” McGovern said.

Biden asked if its written form had been signed by both a member of the House and Senate and responded, “In that case the objection cannot be entertained,” when McGovern confirmed that he did not have a senator’s support for the challenge, which prompted applause from Republican lawmakers.

Several other Democratic lawmakers lodged unsuccessful objections at the time because they, too, did not meet the two-chamber requirement.

“It is over,” Biden said to Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal after she could not produce a senator’s signature, drawing a standing ovation from Republicans.
