@RepMoBrooks
As a U.S. House member, I’m going to be very hesitant to certify the results of this election if Joe Biden is declared the winner under these circumstances b/c I lack faith that this was an honest election. Listen to my interview on @WVNN where I explain why.

He only needs to find a senator to do it with him.

But then the houses consider the objection, and of course the full house won't reject any electoral votes.

So he can make a show of it, anyway.

Still he is blowing farts as the House will overwhelmingly vote to certified Biden as President elect. I mean not just Democrats but overwhelmingly like 434 to 1.

Each vote is equal. A california voter for Trump will count as much as the california voter for Biden.
