Dems Flip Out Over GOP Objection to Electoral College Count, But Hawley Exposes Their Hypocrisy:
"In early 2005 specifically, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., along with Rep. Stephanie Tubbs, D-Ohio, objected to Bush’s 2004 electoral votes in Ohio. That forced the chambers to leave their joint session and debate separately for two hours on whether to reject Ohio’s electoral votes. ... Democrats also raised objections in 2001 (against Bush) and 2017 (against Donald Trump), despite not having a senator sign aboard their objection so they couldn’t legitimately have a debate."
"With U.S. Senate Runoffs Near, Georgia's Not Prosecuting Its Unprecedented Number of Double Voters," By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations December 13, 2020:
More than 1,700 Georgians were singled out for illegally casting two ballots in 2020 elections — including last month’s hotly contested presidential race -- but their fraudulent votes weren't canceled out, according to state election officials. And so far, none of the cheaters has been prosecuted, raising concerns about continued fraud as Georgia prepares to vote again in twin U.S. Senate runoff elections next month.
Unsuccessful Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, left, with Joe Biden in Selma, Ala. She and other voting-rights activists pressured Georgia to mail out absentee ballot applications and install drop boxes, which make elections more vulnerable to double voting. (Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP)
The majority of double voters were Democrats who cast an absentee ballot either by mail or drop box and also voted in person on Election Day, officials said, which is a felony under state law.
