In a recent interview, Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks said Congress will have the “final verdict” in determining who will be the next President of the United States.
Brooks told the Times he plans on challenging the electors in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia and Wisconsin.
Here’s how that would work:
- In order for an objection to get a debate, he will need at least one senator to join him. It’s not clear so far that any senators will object.
- If an objection is filed, each Chamber would have to debate for two hours. For electors to be tossed, the Democratic-controlled House and the Republican-controlled Senate would have to agree.
“My No. 1 goal is to fix a badly flawed American election system that too easily permits voter fraud and election theft,” Brooks told the Times. “A possible bonus from achieving that goal is that Donald Trump would win the Electoral College officially, as I believe he in fact did if you only count lawful votes by eligible American citizens and exclude all illegal votes.”
