On Wednesday Georgia Representative Jody Hice, R–GA 10th District tweeted that on January 6, when Congress meets to certify the Electoral College count, he will lead an objection to Georgia’s electors. This will open up debate giving Republicans an opportunity to share with the public the evidence of alleged irregularities in the Georgia 2020 general elections.
Congressman Hice took office in 2015 as the Representative of Georgia’s 10th Congressional District and serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and the House Natural Resources Committee. For the 116th Congress, he serves as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Government Operations for the Committee on Oversight and Reform.
Hice joins other Republicans, including Matt Gaetz of Florida R–FL 1st District who tweeted out his intent to object on Monday. And Lauren Boebert, member-elect to the United States House of Representatives for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district.
Other objectors include Rand Paul and Ron Johnson in the Senate. WND reports that Republican reps. Mo Brooks, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Jody Hice, Brian Babin, Ted Budd, Andy Biggs, and Lance Gooden have declared their intentions to challenge the result so far, as do incoming Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn.
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX): “I intend to object to the certification of the Electoral College vote submissions on January 6th, 2021″
The number of Congress members planning to object continues to grow and includes the outspoken traditional Democrat and Trump supporter, Rep Vernon Jones of Georgia.
The outcome of such a plan is hard to predict, with pundits on the left certain it won’t make a difference in the certification of votes for Biden and Trump voters hoping it will rally support for further investigation into the suspected irregularities, if not creating an outright overturn of electoral votes.
