Episode 31: Objection to the Election
Manage episode 337180814 series 3379809
Welcome to the Moderate Voice of America. Our story today begins with the objection of the electoral college results for the presidential election. A few days ago, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri called for his rejection of the electoral college results which permitted victory to Joe Biden. As of now, Joe Biden is the president-elect, however, due to uncommon election practices in multiple states, some people are skeptical of its legitimacy.
Senator Josh Hawley has been in the news lately because he was the first senator to announce his rejection of the electorate vote and he has proclaimed his refusal to vote in favor of the results. He tweeted out on December 30th, “millions of voters concerned about election integrity deserve to be heard. I will object on January 6 on their behalf.”
What does this entail for January 6th? How does Congress process this objection? What does it mean for American democracy?
